The Beauty of the Earth
The Book of Common Prayer
We give you thanks, most gracious God, for the beauty of the earth and sky and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the song of birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise you for these good gifts, and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of your abundant creation, to the honor and glory of your Name, now and for ever. Amen.
St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church sits in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. Leelanau County is home to incredible trails and scenic locations of water, sky, and natural wonders. Throughout the year, Leelanau County showcases all of God’s blessings, and reminds each of us there are many ways to connect with the Divine as we make our journey of faith. Consider taking a contemplative prayer walk, then — a mindful activity that combines both walking and praying.
