🌿 The Season of Creation starts today! The theme this year is "Living Water," drawn from Ezekiel's vision of water flowing from God's sanctuary, bringing life wherever it goes.
Here at Revesby Uniting, we worship on Bidjigal Country, near Salt Pan Creek. For the Bidjigal people, this creek has been living water for thousands of years.
Eels are totemic for First Nations people on the east coast. Each year, adult eels in Salt Pan Creek undergo an extraordinary transformation. Their eyes enlarge, their fins grow and their bodies store fat as they prepare for a migration of thousands of kilometres to the Coral Sea to spawn and die. Then their larvae ride ocean currents back south to their ancestral home in Salt Pan Creek
Water that sustains. Water that transforms. Water that connects freshwater to salt, one generation to the next.
This Season of Creation, we give thanks for the living water right here where we are.
