Last Friday we supported OzGREEN’s ‘Dress up as an animal for threatened species’ day. OzGREEN do a fabulous job in our community and our students have been fortunate enough to work with them on various community projects. The funds raised support OzGREEN’s ongoing efforts to connect young people with the environment, build skills in sustainable living, and take action together to reduce our community’s footprint.

This day connects with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation and the Season of Creation which began last Sunday, inspired by Pope Francis, calling on ‘every person living on this planet’ to care for our shared Earth.

Powerful God,

You hold us and everything you have made in your loving care.

You are in the whole universe and in every tiny creature.

Pour out on us, God, the power of your love.

And teach us to care for life and for beauty.

We ask you to change us so that we protect your world, not destroy it.

Change the hearts of people who only care about themselves,

instead of caring about people and the Earth.

Show us how even small things matter,

help us see that we are all connected to each other and to the earth.

We thank you God for being with us each day,

fill us up with wonder and light,

and help us to bring peace to our beautiful world.

Amen.
