Two items extracted from the recent Canterbury Lay Preachers Association Newsletter for the Season of Creation have been added to our prayer resources page today. One is a prayer of thanksgiving for companion animals, written by Joy Kingsbury-Aitken –
We thank you for the animals
who live with us as pets;
sharing their lives with us
and giving their affection to us, …
and the other is a blessing for Social Justice Sunday, celebrated on 25 September.
Linda Cowan offers two Celtic blessings with the comment, “I thought a Celtic blessing 
might be good in the aftermath of Australian elections, Brexit, ISIS bombings and so on. The first is written by John Birch. The second is sent tongue in cheek …. It tickled my fancy, …!” These can be found together at the top of the Prayers page.
And from the Canterbury Lay Preachers Association’s Joy Kingsbury-Aitken and Linda Cowan we have a wealth of information and resources for this year’s Season of Creation – this can be found at the bottom of the Church Year page, under “Ordinary Time.”
