St. Matthew will be participating in a new liturgical season this year, the Season of Creation. The season runs from September 1 to October 4 each year. The season helps us focus each year on different aspects of God’s creation and our call to care for it. This year we will be focusing on the following:

• Sept. 3: Ocean Sunday
• Sept. 10: Land Sunday
• Sept. 17: Forest Sunday
• Sept. 24: River Sunday
• Oct. 1: Renewing the Earth Sunday

As we kick off the fall, let us do so with gladness, celebrating the goodness of God’s creation while remembering our responsibility to be good stewards of that creation.
