The Season of Creation begins September 6
The Season of Creation, also known as “Creationtide” in the Church of England, is an annual Christian observance dedicated to prayer, reflection, and care for God’s creation. During this special season, Christians around the world come together across denominations to listen to the needs of our shared home and consider how we can faithfully respond to the challenges facing the natural world.
The season begins on September 1 with the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation and continues through October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. We invite you to join Christians around the world in celebrating the Season of Creation this year.

Grandparent's Day
Sunday, September 13
All grandparents and their families are invited to stay after the 10:00 a.m. service as we celebrate the love, wisdom, and unique voice our grandparents bring to this church family. Games, raffles, and prizes await along with family photos, a bounce house, and delicious food and treats. Did you know that in 1978, then-President Jimmy Carter signed legislation passed by Congress proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents' Day? The proclamation cites that the day is to "...honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer".
