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

Welcome! We're glad you're planning on observing a Liturgical Season of Creation during the Season of Pentecost 2009. The focus for this series is on Humans Interacting with "this fragile Earth, our island home". Each of our topics looks at a different aspect of our relationship with our environment. 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 this Sunday. If you wish to see full list of materials for the Creation Season during the Season of Pentecost 2009 (Propers 22 through 25), click here.

RCL Readings for this Sunday:

	Semi-Continuous Track	Gospel Theme Track
Old Testament (Hebrew Scripture) Lesson:	Job 38: 1-7, (34-41)	Isaiah 53: 4-12
Psalm	Psalm 104: 1-9, 25, 37c	Psalm 91: 9-16
New Testament Lesson	Hebrews 5: 1-10
