Creation Time in the season of Pentecost is a new season in the church year. It's a time we acknowledge our biological and spiritual kinship with all of creation. The colour of Creation Time is orange so we have new, colourful banners and stoles.

Thanksgiving Sunday, October 9th, was the final Sunday of Creation Time.
For this All Ages Sunday the children's choir and Duncan sang Accentuate the Positive.
|
With the children and the congregation, Cathy shared a story in the style of Godly Play called Living with Respect in Creation, a story created by Rev. Susan Lukey, High River UC, Alberta, based on Psalm 148 and Jeremiah 4:23-27.
All Creation, Praise God. But people did not take care of the earth and it became a dark place. Then one human voice cried "Stop". And then more voices joined and all people took action to restore the beauty of God's creation.

On the second Sunday of Creation Time, September 18th, we continued the story of Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebekah with the birth of the rival twins, Esau and Jacob.
September 11th was the first Sunday of Creation Time. We have new colours in the sanctuary and stories from Genesis as themes for services.
We also have a new song which we all learned after story time with Cathy Cryder.
