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.

This Sunday we remember God’s creation in the animal world.

Kira’s work across the world with animals is not only connecting with her faith but continuing to carry out conservation of many species in many countries.

She is connecting with 10,000 species scientists from almost every country, with partners like

Zoos, Aquariums, Botanic gardens, Corporate agencies and Government agencies.
