The European Christian Environment Network invites all the churches in Europe to celebrate a "Time for Creation" in the Church calendar each year, from 1 September to the second Sunday in October. This can take many different forms. This working group is dedicated to encouraging the churches and producing imaginative materials for worship, liturgy, reflection and challenge. Please look at our material, and please let us know if you are using it or would like to add to it!
