Benediction For an Earth Day Service

I created an Earth Day service for my church this year.  Some things were dropped because of scheduling and other reasons, so I wanted to share this benediction that was dropped:

God’s created people:

God called creation good.  Hear this as a call to be stewards of the earth and to commit ourselves to restoring to goodness our sick planet.  Remember that God has no hands but our hands, no face but our face, no landfill but our landfill, no compost but our compost, and no breath of fresh air but those that we breathe in.  May we continually breathe in the Holy Spirit and receive God’s blessings.  Go forth and create goodness with God!

Amen.
