This is Land Sunday. During the call to worship this Sunday, you will be invited to call out the names for elements specific to our local context. Reflect on places of birth and family origin; places where God's sacred presence is experienced; landscapes you hope to see one day.
Help to welcome land into our worship space this week: bring a jar or glass container of soil, sand or pebbles with you to church. We will carry these forward and place them on the communion table during the Introit as we begin worship.
‘Let the field exult and everything in it’. Psalm 96:12
A Prayer for the Land
In soil bringing seeds to life, 
in rocks holding the mysteries of time,
in prairies alive with wind-blown grain,
in mountains holding hearts on high:
You, Holy One, are present.
You are the life of all life,
and all creation is blessed. Amen.
