St John’s Burning Bush

Season of Creation

The burning bush is the Symbol for the Season of Creation 2022. Wildfires are one of the devastating impacts of climate change on the most vulnerable of our planet. But the fire that called to Moses did not consume or destroy the bush. The flame revealed God’s presence. 

This symbol of God’s Spirit calls us to listen to the voice of creation.

During September St Johns, Shirley have been following the CofE worship guidance and our churchyard has a “Burning Bush” (Euonymus Alatus) which is in the process of changing its leaves from green to fiery red.

 You can see it where the paths cross behind The Tamberlin Room.
