Patch 139

PATCH MAKER: Gillian
LOCATION: Kings Heath, Birmingham MESSAGE:Here at All Saints we have a lovely outdoor labyrinth on the village square outside the church building. The labyrinth is also used as the church logo and I have incorporated this logo into my design. Whilst making my patch I thought about a Climate-tide prayer about diversity, written by Preb. Chris Thorpe in anticipation of the Climate summit and used last Sunday at one of our services.

God of all diversity and growth, you bless us with the complex web of life, each part depending on all others. Every plant and fungus, every animal, insect, and bacterium, and every human being depend on you, and on the wonderful world you are creating. Give us grace to see you in creation, to honour you in our care for the world around us, and to sustain the life-giving environment of the earth. We pray in Jesus name, who brings healing and new life for our world
