A note from LOL Music Director Rick Krause:

Since the 7th century, September 1st has symbolized the day of the creation of the world in the Byzantine tradition and has been the opening feast of its liturgical year (known as the "Feast of the Indiction"). Coincidentally, it is celebrated around the time of Rosh Hashanah, which marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year. Creation in Christ celebrates the ongoing creation of the world in and through Christ, who sustains, unites, and holds all created things.

In our readings for this weekend ( September 5/6, 2026 ) , we hear of the triune God who creates all things: sun and moon, shining stars, fish and sea creatures, insects and flying birds—and even human beings! God-in-Christ still takes care of all things and invites us to join as caretakers of God's good creation. The gospel that we will read is the same one that we hear on Christmas Eve and during the Easter season (John 1:1-5), which reminds us that all things came into being through the Word.

Supported by the Lutheran World Federation and World Council of Churches, the ELCA is encouraging all congregations to celebrate this new day on the liturgical calendar. Although the celebration is encouraged on September 1 or the Sunday following, with the observance of Labor Day some congregations have opted to celebrate the feast in late August or later in September--perhaps aligning with the autumnal equinox.

At Lord of Life, we have decided to delay adding the celebration to our liturgical calendar. Some have suggested that it might better be celebrated in the spring during the Easter season, which seems like a natural time to do it. Regardless of where, when, or how it is celebrated in worship, creation was all a part of God's plan, and to that we should be truly thankful all year.

This weekend, we will bless the backpacks which have been donated to children in need by the congregation. With the start of the new school year, let us celebrate a time of new beginnings for our students, teachers, and staff and they journey to learn more about the world and all of God's creation.

A note from LOL Music Director RIck Krause:

Rocks symbolize strength, stability, and resilience, and they are often seen to offer protection and healing. It's probably no coincidence that ancient builders used rock to create enduring structures like the pyramids of Egypt--as well as the religious and public buildings of ancient Greece and Rome. Following their example, the great builders of medieval Europe used rock to build the Gothic cathedrals as they soared towards the heavens. Rock is still used to create many of the great structures that marvel us to this day.

This weekend's lectionary ( August 22/23, 2026 ) will use the image of a rock to explain the Christian faith. In the Gospel of Matthew, Peter (who was known as Simon) receives from the Lord a new name because of the strength and constancy of his faith. In essence, Peter speaks for us all when he says to Jesus, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." His confession of faith is part of what we recite at worship when we speak the words of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds.

For centuries, Roman Catholics and Protestants have quarreled over Simon Peter's statement of faith. Was Jesus implying that Peter would be the true leader of all Christians on earth after his death and ascension, or did he mean that the faith would be built upon what Peter stated?

The one thing that is certain is that the "rock" is Christ, and enlivened by that rock, will conquer sin and death, because "Jesus is the rock in a weary land." Thanks be to God!
