Today is #EarthDay 🌍
I invite you to join us today in this prayer, written by the Bishop of Norwich.
We are part of God’s creation living in the earth, but with a special responsibility to care for creation, to mind its well-being and its flourishing. Make us more like Jesus we pray.

An undulating landscape covered in green woodland stretches towards the horizon. In the foreground, a man with a backpack looks into the distance, taking in the view. A bumblebee, cuckoo bird and a small tortoiseshell butterfly are overlaid. Text reads, "Starting tomorrow: DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT for a wilder Scotland."

"As we prepare to fly the flag of St George both on 23rd April and this summer in support of our football team, it’s a great opportunity to remember that we are England united – united across difference, in service of our neighbour, a service at the heart of our Christian heritage.” - Bishop Barry Hill
Ahead of St George's Day on 23 April, the Church of England is sharing helpful resources for churches and groups, including prayers, readings, and materials to explore who St George was and what his story can still teach us today.

Almighty Father, you have given your only Son to die for our sins and to rise again for our justification: grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness that we may always serve you in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
