Creation Season 2009
October 4 – October 25, 2009
(Proper 22 through Proper 25, Year B)

Humans interacting with
'this fragile Earth, our island home'

We thank you for the chance to consider the materials we have compiled and created. May they help you in your worship and in your spiritual journey in this world.

Each of our topics looks at a different aspect of our relationship with "this fragile Earth, our Island home." We have prepared some materials for you to use in worship and in religious education.

The outline below and the individual links will point you to materials for preparing various parts of services for a Creation Season in 2009 for Proper 22 through 25 (Year B, Revised Common Lectionary). All Links go to the specific item except for the link for the Sunday, which will take you to a page for that Sunday. The focus of these materials is on the Old Testament (Hebrew Scripture) and Gospel readings.

Some of the materials are still being finalized and some links may not be complete. Please come back in late August for more resources.
