NINTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
Season of Creation
Lord God, your eternal power is known
through the whole flow of existence
and in its intricacies and beauty
your voice speaks to us of your wisdom and purpose:
rooted in your love and grace may we with all creation speak your glory from everlasting to everlasting
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Every tree is known by the fruit it bears; you do not pick figs from thorn bushes- Luke 6:44
