At the November 2009 meeting, examples of Creation Services devised or adapted by members were shared, on the basis that rural churches have a special responsibility for developing a theology of creation in response to our times and for celebrating the natural world which is such an immediate aspect of our experience in the countryside.

This page has links to the full text of each of the services – click on the thumbnail below and the page will open in a new window. Readers are welcome to copy or adapt them if they wish.
