Let Justice and Peace Flow: Season of Creation Worship Series
Inspired by the 2023 ecumenical materials and theme, a team of United Methodist pastors and lay people from around the United States wrote and assembled a five-week worship series, complete with liturgy, sermon starters, children’s materials, music suggestions, videos and more to make your worship planning easy. The theme, “Let Justice and Peace Flow“ centers around the imagery of a mighty river and inspires us to consider how the river is a model both for our faith and for our connection to the rest of God’s creation.
