Friends,
As the season of creation comes to a close for this year, I am thrilled that our Bishop John will be with us on Sunday to celebrate our patron St. Francis and this incredible community we share. His visit is special because of what it means, the bishop coming is an opportunity to celebrate relationships- with the wider church, ourselves, and God.
A about relationship was raised at bible study this week in relation to the readings and our season of creation. How are we going to continue to live this season of creation for the rest of the year? A great question, one which John might offer some reflection on on Sunday. I hope you can join us- he’d love to meet you!
Together in this season we have journeyed through creation at the 30,000 ft level, which has shown us a life which God is inviting us to lean into because of our new awareness regarding the needs of our mother, earth. Our kids have helped us see creation in how they have been tending and growing our garden in church. A garden which has been showing us just how much everything in this world is connected and dependent on each other for survival. I wonder, what have you seen this season which is catching your attention related to creation care
So how can we continue to build relationship with creation together this year? I wonder what the bishop and our wider diocesan partners might be up to and how we can partner with them in that work. Lets ask the bishop on Sunday!
Come ready to party- bring a friend, bring 4! (please car-pool!)
