Creationtide, or the Season of Creation, is the period in the Church's annual calendar from 1 September to 4 October dedicated to celebrating God as Creator and Sustainer of all life. It is a time to give thanks for the gift of creation and to renew our commitment to care for God's world through prayer, worship, learning, and practical action.

This Season of Creation, pledge to make the Great Switch for Creation and take a small but impactful step towards our net zero carbon mission. Switching to a green energy tariff is a small but powerful step your church can take to reduce your environmental impact.
