This Week's Reading Plan

Reflections and Caring Conversations

Please use the prompts and prayers below to aid you in your devotions for this week.

• Morning Prayer: This morning, we ask for the courage to be active participants in Your grand design. Guide us to challenge conventional understandings and explore deeper meanings. As we unravel the intimate details of creation, help us to understand our roles as partners with You, nurturing and upholding the world You have created. As we go about our day, help us to remember that we are called to be conduits of Your love, mercy, and justice. 

• Evening Prayer: As the day draws to a close, O God, We give thanks for the companionship and partnership that we share with others, recognizing that we are created to live in community, not in isolation. As we close our eyes in sleep, may we find rest in Your love, and wake renewed to continue our work as partners in Your creation.

• Reflection Question: 1The sermon discusses the creation story in Genesis and the formation of humanity from the dirt. How does this perspective challenge your traditional understanding of creation? (Refer to Genesis 2:7)

• Reflection Question: Jesus' resurrection is highlighted in the sermon as a call for restored equality between men and women. How can we implement this understanding of equality in our daily lives and relationships? (Refer to John 20:16-18)

• Reflection Question: The sermon concludes with a prayer for courage to face injustices and for God's spirit to guide those who can make a difference. How can we actively participate in making a difference in our communities, following the sermon's call to action? (Refer to James 1:27)
