What's Happening
As we begin this New Year I want to invite you to consider a couple of opportunities to grow in your faith:
The Gospel of Luke: I will begin focusing on this gospel for our Wednesday Bible Study, our Wed Younger Youth afternoon group, as well as our focus in worship on Sundays. Picking one book of the Bible and reading and praying through it really is the best way to grow in our faith, so I invite you to consider this practice. Even if you are not able to join the Wed Zoom Study (7PM) I encourage you to read a chapter or two each week, beginning this week with Luke chapter 3.
Daily Devotions: Another option for growing spiritually is regular daily devotionals. Here are a few options to consider:
The church has copies of the Upper Room devotional booklet for January and February, regular and large print. They are available in the entry area outside the church office along with some other resources. Feel free to pick up a copy or we can mail one to you.
A great online devotional for youth and adults is d365 (devotionals 365 days a year). It offers a way to pray and meditate daily, available also as an app on your phone.
In January there will be opportunities for us to learn more about local and regional missions. If you are interested in meeting online to hear from various mission agencies/non-profits, let me know. I hope to have a monthly mission Zoom gathering as a way of educating ourselves about the needs in our community, and how we might be able to support these efforts. For those not able to join on Zoom, reports will be shared in email and in print.
Thank you for considering these opportunities, and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to let me know!
Faithfully,
Rev. Michael
