As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to reflect on the following…
“The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the
world’s deep hunger meet.”
~ Frederick Buechner
Where in my life am I being asked to take a step without knowing
exactly where it will lead?
What am I holding onto simply because it is familiar?
Things to Pray for this Week
Monday (September 21) is the International Day of Prayer for Peace.
We pray for those affected by war and instability in places such as
Sudan and South Sudan, Gaza, Iran, the wider Middle East and
many more. We pray that leaders choose dialogue over violence so
that peace can prevail.
As summer turns to fall, we delight in a season of abundant harvest
on the farm at Crieff Hills Retreat Centre.
We give thanks for peacemaking organizations, such as
church partner Project Ploughshares, that work for justice,
peace, and a world free of nuclear weapons.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BELONG?
We live in a time when commitment can feel increasingly optional. So
why make a commitment to a particular church?
Because Christianity was never meant to be lived
alone.
Membership isn’t about having everything figured out.
It’s about choosing to follow Jesus together.
