On September 11 we begin the program year with a four week celebration of the Season of Creation, beginning with a multigenerational RALLY DAY education experience at 9:15am focused on the first of four creation themes: FOREST.  For week one you are invited to bring a stuffed animal of the forest or a potted plant of forest foliage which will be used as part of our opening processional in worship that Sunday. The Season of Creation this year concentrates on those texts where the Spirit is breathing life into creation, suffering with creation, and renewing all creation. The four Sunday themes are: Forest, Earth, Wilderness, River. Each week’s liturgy will include appeals to the senses as we explore our vocation as earthkeepers and re-imagine our role within the good creation of which we are part through God’s design.
