Sept 4th Season of Creation 1: Forest Sunday



This is Forest Sunday. During the call to worship this Sunday, you will be invited to call out the names of elements specific to our local context. Think about landscapes, landforms, and parks; wilderness areas and places of solitude; rivers, lakes, and water sources; and trees and forest creatures and nearby forests that are a part of our lives here.




‘All the trees of the forest sing for joy’. Psalm 96:12

Assurance of God's Love for Forest Sunday

Like the tree whose roots go beneath the surface, beyond our sight;
like that tree through which water flows in and then out;
so is the assurance of God’s love that holds us.
It is love that goes deep, anchoring us securely.
It is love that flows freely, bearing life to and from us.
Thanks be to God.
