The Holy Spirit is bringing something new! On September 1st, 2026 the church celebrates a new holy day, the Feast of Creation! For United Methodist calendars, this day will be called Creation in Christ Sunday. This new holy day comes about through the prayerful discernment of the world-wide Christian Church. It falls at the beginning of the Season of Creation, the annual Christian celebration of prayer and action for our common home from September 1st to October 4th.
The Worship Team of the United Methodist Creation Justice Movement (UMCJM) is offering an all new worship series for the Season of Creation which includes this new celebration, with worship notes, liturgies, and a six week adult study guide. Materials are even now being developed across Christian traditions.
The May UMCJM Movement Café offered a first look, a teaser sneak peak at what is to come!
