22nd September 2024 (Year B -‘Season of Creation’) “Acting with Hope”
SEASON OF CREATION
For the month of September, we generally include the Season of Creation, now celebrated worldwide and the brainchild of Normal Habel, a Lutheran minister based in South Australia. The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together.
During the Season of Creation, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home in the All Age message. Norman Habel saw creation as deserving a season of its own to complement Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Advent and Pentecost. For more information, and ideas beyond simply liturgy and worship, see www.seasonofcreation.com and www.normanhabel.com.
Please note that Season of Creation is worldwide and we are all different – you may choose to adapt the material according to the insights and challenges pertinent to your local context.
In the Australian outback there are places that are awe inspiring, spectacular and mysterious. From the largest Artesian basin, when the rains come, the largest river starting in Qld, flows right to the southern ocean in SA. Water is a precious commodity, we need to treat it with respect and see it as a gift from God.
Many rivers and wetlands are being revived and cleaned so that in the environment, people and animals can share the spaces. This is happening world wide.
Today we hear about some of the places in NSW where programs and places are being developed.
New hope is being given to species in our environment. Rivers are being refreshed.
ALL AGE MESSAGE
Lightening McQueen in the Cars stories had a big lesson to learn. He aimed to be the winner of a race, but after helping someone else to win he actually became the hero for his servant actions.
Experience the joy that comes with putting others first!
