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
