Season of Creation
The Season of Creation, September 1st through October 4th, is celebrated by Christians around the world as a time for renewing, repairing and restoring our relationship to God, one another, and all of creation.
The Episcopal Church joins this international effort for prayer and action for climate justice and an end to environmental racism and ecological destruction. The 2024 theme is To hope and act with Creation.
In celebrating the Season, we are invited to consider anew our
ecological, economic, and political ways of living.

with special prayers and hymns in our liturgy,

Our celebration will end with the Blessing of the Animals on October 6.

We use the Journey to Adulthood (J2A) youth ministry program,
endorsed by the Episcopal Church.
The lessons are organized around self, society, and spirituality and allow youth to explore these themes through discussion, Bible study, games, crafts, and the occasional off-site trip or service project.
Youth Group Leaders are Melissa Simonsen, Mark Perschbacher,
