SEASON OF CREATION 2
A HOME FOR ALL?
14 September, 2021
Hello everyone,
I don’t know about you but I feel as though every time I turn on the radio or TV these days, my eyes and ears are assaulted by angry voices. Angry election ads, angry protests, angry declaration of personal rights. Thank goodness for the mute button! But I still wonder when we became such an angry society. When did it become acceptable to turn our differences into vicious attacks on those who don’t agree? It causes me heartache that we have allowed things to move in this direction, for this is directly opposed to everything Jesus taught us about love, peace and acceptance. Perhaps, as faithful followers of Him, we can offer an alternative that heals divisions, not cause them.
Being faithful goes far beyond coming to church on Sunday. Being faithful means living a life that tries its’ very best to reflect those things we say we believe. And this faith extends to the earth we live on. As we move through the Season of Creation, my hope is that every one of us will take some time to reflect on ways we can lighten our footsteps and cause the least damage we possibly can to our environment. The theme this week, as we continue asking the question ‘A Home for All?; Renewing God’s Oikos’ is Wisdom from our home planet. What does our planet have to teach us about living faithful lives? This is the question we will reflect on this coming Sunday. Join us in person, (please remember to wear a mask) or on line via Zoom.
I will not be leading worship next Sunday, September 26th. I am taking part in my Aunt’s funeral service on the Coast. This will be a time for family and memories, as myself, my siblings and our cousins celebrate the life of the last of the generation who raised us. Linda Bridges has agreed to step in and lead worship and I would like to say a huge word of thanks to her.
In peace,
Heather
