For four Sundays in September Logan Parish joins in the celebration of A Season of Creation with Christ.
A quote from the Season of Creation website:
What is the Season of Creation?
In the seasons of Advent, Epiphany, Lent and Easter we celebrate the life of Christ. In the season of Pentecost we celebrate the Holy Spirit. Now, in the season of Creation, we have an opportunity to celebrate God, the Creator.
For four Sundays in September, prior to St Francis of Assisi Day, we join in celebrating with the Christ the wonders of creation.
In the liturgy, we follow the lead of the psalm writers and celebrate with creation - with the forests, the rivers and the fields, which praise the Creator in their own way.
Bible readings focus especially on the story of Earth, which complements the story of God and the story of humanity in the Scriptures.
We commit ourselves to a ministry of healing Earth, with Christ and creation as our partners.
As has been our practice since beginning a pilot Season of Creation for the Archbishops Advisory Committee on Liturgy, the four Sundays in September will be celebrated as follows:
4/5 September Ocean
11/12 September Fauna
18/19 September Storm
25/26 September Cosmos – and then:
3/10 October St Francis of Assisi with Blessing of Animals.
A note about the Season of Creation Logo: The orb of the logo is planet Earth filled with the waves of God's Spirit. The veins of the leaf suggest the web of creation. The leaf forms a tree of life that is also the cross of Christ. Leaves from the tree of life are for healing (Rev. 22.2).
