2nd Sunday before Lent, Collect (Redub)

God our creator,

in the beginning the Spirit swooped

and you made everything;

the stars and sun, the moon and sky,

the sea and the land.

Each and every creature was

loved into being by you.

You formed us out of earth and

breathed us alive in your own image.

In Christ all this holds together.

Help us notice you in everything.

Amen.
