The Season of Creation runs 1st September to 4th October every year. It is adopted ecumenically and internationally as a time to draw attention to the environment, and creation. Worship and prayer resources can be found here

Following the Mersey Synod meeting on 9th March, a Synod Eco Group has been formed to help churches fulfill our commitment of caring for God’s Creation and to exchange information and experiences on ‘green’ issues.

Our theme at the March Synod Meeting, held at Trinity URC Wigan, was ‘Talking Faith, Talking Creation’ and we looked at how faith informs our approach and attitude to the environment. We also celebrated the news that URC Mersey Synod has achieved both the Bronze Eco Synod Award and the Bronze Eco Church Award Certificate.
