Creation is the theme of the summer 2013 quarter of the Gather \u2019Round curriculum. The biblical texts are drawn from passages in Genesis, Psalms, Ruth, and Matthew. Together they depict a God who is intensely involved with creation, finds goodness in it, and nurtures, blesses, and sustains it. The texts also are a reminder that the goal of God\u2019s redemptive work is to return people\u2013and the world\u2013to what they were created to be in the first place.<\/p>\n
