The Season of Creation is an annual celebration of prayer and action to protect creation. Since its inception in 1989, Christians around the world (147 denominations and ecumenical councils) have observed this season with events on six continents ranging from prayer services to litter clean-ups to advocacy actions. The theme of this year’s celebration is “Peace with Creation.” The season began on September 1, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and concludes on October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology.

Praying with Creation, 2025 from An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice
Most of us know very little about the great web of life that surrounds us. The purpose of these daily devotions is to open our eyes to some of the “created ones” with whom we share common ground, to awaken our hearts to their needs, and to take new steps toward living together in peace.
Each day of the Season of Creation (Sept. 1 – Oct. 4) participants will receive an email that highlights a different keystone species in our newly designated Province One EcoRegion. Each email will include a photo, a brief description of the species for the day, a few thoughts on how the species reflects our image of God, and a closing prayer. The Devotions will be prepared by Episcopalians from around Province One. Sign up here.
The Devotions will also be accessible on the Episcopal Path to Creation Justice website.
