THE SEASON OF CREATION 2020 Series A: The Spirit in Creation
From its humble beginnings, the Season of Creation is now being celebrated worldwide through a growing number of websites for various denominations. We are invited to take action in 2020 by choosing from the offerings now available both locally and internationally.
September 1 Creation Day
September 6 1st Sunday in Creation – Forest Sunday
September 13 2nd Sunday in Creation – Land Sunday
September 20 3rd Sunday in Creation – Wilderness/Outback Sunday
September 27 4th Sunday in Creation – River Sunday
October 4 St Francis of Assisi Day – Blessings of the Animals
To mark the Season of Creation we have a series of five services from 6th September to 4th October. These are all accessible at no charge using the following links to Project Reconnect resources. This will give you a feeling for the online delivery of Project Reconnect as an alternative to our traditional DVD. For each Sunday you can download:
- A message about the featured Sunday,
- An "All Age" message about the featured Sunday and
- An information sheet. DVD users will note a different format for the information sheet as music is not yet available for download, but the format will be familiar.
To get the video to play in full screen move your mouse over the video image to the bottom right hand corner where you will see an icon with 4 arrows pointing out diagonally. Click on that and the video image will enlarge to fill the screen. To return to reduced image size click on the four arrows icon at the bottom right, or "escape"
