The Season of Creation
Welcome to the 2024-2025 program year, which is starting with an environmental focus using the Season of Creation. Why is this important? What does Christianity have to do with ecology? Why is some of the familiar language of the liturgy going to be different for a few weeks? Please join our clergy, Abigail and Jeff, in a discussion of our participation in this ecumenical effort to highlight what it means to keep God’s commandment to love all of creation.
