Season of Creation: Universe Sunday

“Praise him you highest skies” Ps.148.1

The Season of Creation is a relatively new ecumenical movement that joins us with the rest of the world’s churches in remembering the Creator and to live in hope that we will live into our roles to care for what is before us.

Universe refers to all that exists, every dimension of time and space, spiritual and material. The universe is both the glittering galaxies that humans have begun to explore as well as distant domains far beyond our imagination.  In addition, there are unknown domains deep within each tiny molecule that we have yet to comprehend. All creation is one sacred cosmic reality, a spiritual universe filled with God’s presence.

This Sunday,we worship with the entire universe, conscious that the universe is a vast sacred space of which we humans on Earth are a such a small but privileged part. We join the Psalmists and call on the sky above and the deep below to shout with songs of praise. We celebrate the wondrous spiritual force called Wisdom which permeates, activates, and unifies the web of worlds that is our universe.

So come…whoever you are and wherever you find yourself in your faith journey, know that you are most welcome & invited here.

Blessings,
Pastor Tina

PS – Wednesday, September 21 is the International Day of Prayer for Peace.  This day coincides with the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. Please take a moment to remember those who work for peace – and from whom peace is given.

O God, it is your will to hold both heaven and earth in a single peace.  Let the design of your great love shine on the waste of our wraths and sorrows, and give peace to you church, peace among nations, peace in our homes, and peace in our hearts; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
