🎅 CHRISTMAS
Creation Care at Christmas
As we continue our journey in caring for God’s creation, the Christmas season provides an opportunity to consider how we might celebrate well while still honouring God’s creation. The Creation Care team have compiled some resources for you to explore.
🌱 Sustainable Christmas
In this resource, we are invited to consider how we can journey into Christmas in a different way — in a way that is more in harmony with creation. Preparation and planning helps us to approach Christmas differently, with more thought and joy.
📚 Book Gift Ideas for Adults
A selection of books helping us to encounter God through his creation, and helping us to explore faith, science and the environment — for both young and old.
👶 Book Gift Ideas for Kids
Books are always a great gift for kids at Christmas — so why not choose some that help kids understand creation in light of the Creator?
🎵 Australian Christmas Carols
Check out some great Australian Christmas Carols to sing with your family this year. Their lyrics feature aspects of our own Australian flora and fauna and recognise God as creator. Also check out reflections on the carols written by SBC’s Peter Newton (member of the Creation Care team).
What is Creation Care about?
We love to worship the Creator God. We believe that one of the ways God reveals himself is through his creation, and that he has commissioned us to care for this world he lovingly made. Our Creation Care team exists to help us, as God’s church, to better enjoy God’s creation and better care for it.
