The Church Year at St John's

Spring

Daffodils in the churchyard

Lord of all life and power
renewing the whole of creation:
we offer ourselves as its firstfruits
since Christ conquered death once for all
restoring our hope and kindling our joy.

Easter services



Summer

Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer
you are manifest
in the variety and unity of nature
teach us to respond in joyful obedience.

Creator God,
with every creature,

in the sorrowful darkness
of our wintry earth,

of your incarnate Word.
