We will once again mark the Season of Creation for four weeks this fall, beginning on Sunday, September 15th, which is also Rally Sunday and the beginning of Christian Education Classes for the fall. Our Season of Creation kick-off will include an Intergenerational Education hour on September 15, beginning @ 9:15am – 10:15am followed by Worship @ 10:30am – 11:45am.

If the rhythms of summer have taken you away from regular worship, this is a great time to reconnect.

This year’s WISDOM SERIES correlates with the year of Luke.  Wisdom is a deep impulse within all parts of creation, designing their mysteries, guiding their purposes, and mentoring their functions.            

The four themes are: OCEAN (9/15), FAUNA (9/22), STORM (9/29), and COSMOS (10/6). 

During this season, two special guests will help us explore issues of great import to our bioregion. On Fauna Sunday, Brenda Peterson, internationally acclaimed nature writer and director of Media Relations for Sealsitters.org will be a special guest for education hour and worship.  And on Cosmos Sunday, October 6, LeeAnne Beres of Seattle’s Earth Ministry will be our guest.  She’ll be teaching the adult session that Sunday, with a focus on a very significant issue facing our state:  the prospect of coal trains and coal export facilities in Washington.

Come join us for the whole season or for one Sunday, and help us celebrate the our first human vocation: being stewards and keepers of Earth.
