All God's Creatures Prayer Service

 

It’s hard to believe that the earth is undergoing a mass extinction of our creatures.  The very existence of one in five species is threatened!

 

In the United States, the Endangered Species Act has

served as the “Noah’s ark” of our time, ensuring protection

for creatures in peril. The ark in the Genesis flood narrative

is how, God “remembers” (i.e., holds, keeps, protects,

cares for) “all the wild animals and all the domestic animals” (Gen. 8:1). Today, we are called to be mindful of all

creatures, and to take stock of their presence.
