Reverence, Responsibility, Regret, Redemption

Theme: Season of Creation
Celebrating the Bush Landscape of Aotearoa

Sunday 6th September 2026

Text: Genesis 2: 4 -10, 15-17
 
O give thanks to our God who is good:
whose love endures forever.
You sun and moon, you stars of the southern sky:
give to our God your thanks and praise.
Sunrise and sunset, night and day:
give to our God your thanks and praise.
All mountains and valleys, grassland and scree,
glacier, avalanche, mist and snow:
give to our God your thanks and praise.
You kauri and pine, rata and kowhai, mosses and ferns:
give to our God your thanks and praise.
 
God’s invitation to us in these verses, to tend and guard creation, is an invitation to enthusiastically join God’s redemptive plan.
