Affirmation of Faith for Harvest

We believe that Creation is a gift of God,
an expression of our Creator’s goodness.
We believe that as human beings we are part of this creation
and that we share in a special way in the creative power of God.
We believe that the resources of our land and waters and air
are precious gifts from our Creator,
to be used and looked after with loving care.
We believe that there is a rhythm to God’s creation, like a drum beat;
When we lose the beat, or the drum is damaged, the music is out of tune.
