Season of Creation

Sunday 1 September 2024 – Friday 4 October 2024

As we begin the month of September, we begin within the church what is known as “The Season of Creation”.

This runs from 1 September (Orthodox Church ‘Day of Creation’) up until 4 October (Feast Day of St Francis of Assisi).

The Uniting Church in Australia and a few others took a lead in promoting a Season of Creation in the global church’s liturgical calendar, with themes for each Sunday during a typical 3-year lectionary cycle. Our current Banyule Worship Plan has the following themes for each week:-

Sunday 1 September                Day of Creation
Sunday 8 September                Earth Sunday
Sunday 15 September              Humanity Sunday
Sunday 22 September              Sky Sunday
Sunday 29 September              Mountain Sunday
