This guide will inspire and equip us to make a tangible impact in our communities.” This year’s Season of Creation 2024 theme, "To Hope and Act with Creation," calls participants to reflect on the biblical message of "The Firstfruits of Hope" (Rom 8:19-25), emphasizing our active role in praying and caring for our planet as we strive for a better future amidst current ecological challenges. Promotional materials, including flyers organized by language are available for widespread distribution.
