Rogation Sunday
May 5 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Christian Earth Day, Sunday, May 5th
In the days before the Feast of the Ascension, forty days after Easter, were traditionally times to bless the newly planted crops and pray for a successful crop. “Rogation” comes from the Latin word for, to ask. In our modern time, Rogation Sunday is also a time to bless our crops and gardens, no matter if it is a full farm or a couple of tomato plants. It is also a time for us to reflect upon how to be stewards of the earth,this our fragile island home (Eucharistic Prayer C). We will pray some unique prayers, sing hymns for the day, and receive a blessing kit for your own home.
If you have any perennial plants you are dividing and would like to share with the church, it would be an honor to have part of your garden to help beautify our church yard.
