Creation Season

Introduction
Over the next few weeks as we go through the autumn a poem will be included with the weekly readings.
Some of the poems will be familiar and others may be new to you.
They will reflect thoughts and ideas associated with this time of year.

During the Creation Season we remind ourselves of God’s gift to us in all the wonders of creation. But we also remind ourselves that we should be caring for the earth rather than using it as a resource to be exploited.

Through the Season of Remembering we acknowledge that we and our communities have been affected by loss,
illness and death. We recognise those who have influenced our lives for good and we give thanks for God’s steadfast love.

Autumn Emily Dickenson 1830 – 1886

The morns are meeker than they were,   
The nuts are getting brown;
The berry’s cheek is plumper,
The rose is out of town.
The maple wears a gayer scarf,
The field a scarlet gown.
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I’ll put a trinket on.
