Welcome to this week’s worship resources. This week we encourage you to dive into the scripture and hear again the story of Jesus walking on the water and reflect on how this story meets us this week.
For those of you who feel that you only have cracks and crevices in your week available to intentionally spend time with God we’ve created this material as a kind of playlist for you to use through your week to dive in and out of when you can make space in your work, home, car or whenever you find yourself open to spend time with God.
Perhaps you might choose one prayer to pray daily, or commit to listening to two songs each day, or reading one of the bible verses every two days?
Readings:
Isaiah 56:1, 6-8
Psalm 67
Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32
Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28
Prayers:
Story:
Here are three stories that reflect on the theme of Blessing this week. Perhaps they might be stories to reflect on together at the end of the day this week, or over the course of Sunday.
Singing The Scriptures
This week’s singing the scripture playlist provides many ways to reflect on Psalm 67 and 133, both songs of blessing.
Reflection – On Blessings
Faith At Home
Activities to help you reflect on Blessings at home this week, they would provide good conversation at the table or activities to do with others over the course of the weekend.
