Dates, Times, & History

Important Dates

Creation Week is celebrated from the first Sunday in September to the first Saturday in September.

​Labor Day is both a separate holiday in The Celebration of God as well as an important part of the Creation Day observance since God created work and called man to join Him in work during the first week of time. Sometimes Labor Day falls within Creation Week, and sometimes it falls before.

Grandparents Day is another holiday that has a much in common with Creation Day. Most years it falls on the Sunday after Creation Week, but some years it lands on the Sunday of Creation Week.

History

Creation Week was officially inaugurated on September 6th, 2020.

AMBrewster came up with the idea for a Creation-themed holiday in 2015. At that time he substituted Creation Day for Arbor Day. Later, he moved the observance of Creation Day to Earth Day. Then in 2018 he began crafting the framework for what would eventually become Creation Week. 

Aaron chose the September date for Creation Week for the following reasons: 
  1. Jewish tradition dates the Creation of the World to the months of Elul and Tishri which overlap with the the last half of August, all of September, and the first half of October.
  2. The Jewish observance of the creation of man is Rosh Hashanah on Tishrei 1.
  3. Given that the Jewish utilize a lunisolar calendar, Tishrei 1 may be observed all throughout September. This puts the celebration of the Creation consistently in the middle of September.
  4. Since the exact date of the Creation of the world is unknown, and since the 1st of September is only occasionally a Sunday, observance of Creation Week is on the first full week of September. 

Colors: Green and yellow are the official colors of Creation Week because green represents new life and yellow represents the power of God.

Season of Mercy

Character Focus

Creation Week is the first holiday of the Season of Mercy. During Creation God was so incredibly merciful and gracious to us! The Lord mercifully provides a way to escape
exhaustion, purposelessness, and loneliness.

Salvation Focus

During the Season of Mercy we focus on mankind's Desperation. God created us in order to have a relationship with us, but there's a problem. Our Desperation refers to the fact that because we are all sinners we cannot have a relationship with God. However, since we won't observe the Fall of Man and the consequences for sin until after Creation Week, we can start our contemplation of Desperation with the fact that we desperately need to worship God just like He created us to.
