SEASON OF CREATION

When Jesus encounters  this woman, he learns something!  Galilee was the “bread basket of the region” yet there was not enough food for the people living there. This woman knew there should be enough food for everyone.

In the most unlikely places you can find someone who sees and knows the lavishness of God in his Kingdom.

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.

ALL AGE MESSAGE

During Covid, many people learned to make bread. Bread is very significant in the Bible. It is a staple food.

The woman who comes to Jesus knows that in a Jesus Kingdom there is enough bread for everyone.

In our world that is not so. How can the Earth and Environment be better cared for, so there is bread for everyone?

11th August 2024 (Year B -Pentecost 12) “Imitators of Christ”

BySharon Dennis

Following rules and instructions is not always popular in our present society. Some like to just ‘do their own thing’!

Today there is a challenge to follow rules that will build unity and an element of community in our society.

What would it look like to be ‘imitators’ of Jesus in our lives where love, kindness and forgiveness shine?

BySharon Dennis

God invites us into deep relationship that is not based on being rich, having all the earthly needs we require or being, good enough.

To follow Jesus we have to see ourselves differently – die to our old selves and be born to a new life.

A new life of generosity, trust in God, free from things that hold us back to simply receive the inheritance of love and grace on offer.

BySharon Dennis

Mark’s Gospel makes no mention of a baby in a manger, shepherds or angels.

In Mark we are introduced to the grown up, ready to act Jesus.

Be revitalized by knowing this Jesus, attuned to our darkness of despair, disbelief and aching loneliness that affects many humans today. This is where we find the ‘Gold’ without the ‘Glitter’.
