Weekly Scripture Meditation:

Beginning in September we wedded the discipleship program with the worship service by concentrating on the same scripture[s] across all platforms. This is all well and good for those who attend discipleship events, but what about those, who for various reasons are not able to do so? Well, beginning this week we are inviting you into the conversation too. Here’s how it works. The Scriptures assigned for Sunday, November 18 are as follows: 

Daniel 12:1-3

Psalm 16

Hebrews 10:11-14, [15-18], 19-25

Mark 13:1-8

Each of these texts are supposed to be connected in theme. The gospel text or whichever text is in BOLD will be the foundation for that Sunday’s discipleship and sermon.

I want to suggest that you read the Mark passage slowly each day of the week prior to that Sunday. I believe that will prepare your head and heart to receive what God would wish to communicate to you in the Sunday service. Try it. Pray before you read. Give thanks to God after you have read. Perhaps it could even stoke some ideas for prayer following your reading. Why not grab a journal and keep track of what goes on in your heart while reading? Just a suggestion. Blessings!

We will begin with a worship service in the sanctuary at 6:00 p.m. After that we will move downstairs for a delicious meal and a great time of fellowship and chit-chat. Please make plans for attending this wonderful yearly event.
