When walking or sitting in natural surroundings like forests, beaches, mountains or obviously evocative spots, we may easily reflect on God as Creator. We might respond in awe with a ‘wow’, or a Prayer, or initiate a related conversation with someone. Sometimes, having something to prompt us to notice God’s creative work is also good!
Inside and outside St James’ Church, West End, beautiful Climate Unity globes are installed for Creationtide, to help worshippers focus and reflect. These were made by children at St James CofE School as their contribution to Winchester School of Art’s 2025 exhibition, ‘Small Worlds :Little Things – Big Difference’. Some of the globes also contain creatures that the children included in the Triwonder Installation at our Cathedral. If passing the Church, do enjoy! (Climate Unity Project details: Climate Unity )
Why not carry a twig or leaf in your pocket this Creationtide, as a prompt to proactively notice God’s creation?
