“Lead me, Lord”
A journey for individuals and churches
A Journey of Hope and Love
In our many years of working with Christians on creation care, we’ve seen five key elements of response.
- Prayer is the foundation of everything …
- We start with praise and thanksgiving … a reminder of God’s goodness in creation and God’s plan for the redemption and reconciliation of all things
- We search our hearts … what is God saying to us about our thoughts and actions? Where do we need to change? What is our calling?
- We see the steps … finding information for prayer, practice, and advocacy
- We join with others … stronger together.
“And you will renew the face of the earth”
Praying and acting in faith and hope
Hymns & Prayers
“God who speaks, help us to listen,
work and vote, pray and sing,
change our values, live more simply
build a world where love is king.”
(Averil Stedeford)
Reflections and Teaching
“Christians have a Godgiven call to…be channels of redemption, as the power of the resurrection is at work within the people of God. Prophetic action lived within the gift of ultimate hope becomes the demonstration of a sustaining present hope.” (John Weaver)
Where I am …
In the stories gathered here, individual Christians share what they are seeing ‘where they are’ – whether that’s a geographic location or a type of work – and what they are doing to make a difference.
“A three-fold strand is not easily broken”
