Season of Creation

Season of Creation

We will celebrate the Season of Creation on 3 Sundays this Fall  - September 17, September 24, and October 1.

The theme this year is "But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. " We will want to enhance our worship space to support the theme. We are asking you - especially the sewers/crafters in our midst to dig into their leftover fabrics for any that are blue to help incorporate the symbol of a Mighty River in our sanctuary. You can visit the website here: https://seasonofcreation.org/about/
