Seasonal worship

For Reflection

Other than perhaps a vague mention about the weather if it’s particularly wet, windy or sunny, in what ways does your church reflect the different seasons?

The yearly calendar has traditionally been divided into four: midsummer (the longest day), Yule or winter solstice (the shortest day), spring equinox and autumn equinox. Each of these gives a good opportunity to celebrate our Creator God and the seasons that he gives us. On the Sunday closest to each of these hold an outside celebration with opportunities to thank God for the season and to look at our responsibilities.

Hold a picnic with your church or small group in an outside location, with space to reflect on how all creation exists for Christ (Col. 1:16). Specify that the picnic has to follow the LOAF (local, organic, animal-friendly, fair-trade) principles.

Arthur Rank Centre's website is packed full of worship resources that can be used for the many, many opportunities that there are throughout the year to focus the Church’s worship on creation.

Christian Ecology is another good place to visit for seasonal worship ideas.
