Before humanity arrived, the world was already alive with light, water, soil, seed, wing, fin, fur, and breath. Genesis 1:1–2:3 tells of a creation repeatedly called good, a world humanity enters as creature and kin. John 1:1–5 reaches even further back, declaring that all things came into being through the Word, and that this life still shines in the darkness.
What changes when we stop imagining creation as scenery around the human story? What might “dominion” mean in a world that belongs to God? And what happens when ancient words about humanity, gender, power, rest, and divine purpose refuse to fit neatly into the categories we have inherited?
Join us on Sunday, September 6, as we begin the Season of Creation and explore the mystery of a cosmos held together in divine life. Worship with us in person at 85 William Street S, Chatham, or join us online through Facebook Live.
