The Sixth Sunday of Easter is often called Rogation Sunday. Although this aspect of the Sixth Sunday of Easter is not often stressed anymore, there nevertheless are hints of prepartion for the rogation days in the morning services this Sunday, when at times there is an emphasis on God the Creator, and gratitude for all he provides. For example, pay attention to the words of the opening hymn at 11am. Rogation Sunday traditionally prepares us for the three Rogation Days to follow on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.We will celebrate those three days with services in the Chantry Chapel.

Among the sermons in the archive that can help you understand God as creator, consider these:

The Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth (2011) by Fr Spurlock
All Ours as Gift (2008) by Fr Austin
Thanksgiving Day 2002 by Fr Stafford

Collect:

O God, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as pass man’s understanding: Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee in all things and above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
