Sunday Scripture Reflection
Communion
Reading, studying, and especially prayerful reflection of the scriptures is central to the
spiritual life of a Christian. To encourage this and frame it in a new way, I'll be beginning a Communion Hymn: #689 Praise and Thanksgiving
bi-weekly reflection on the upcoming Sunday scriptures.
Post Communion Canticle: The Spirit Sends Us Forth to Serve
This won't be a traditional bible study where the pastor leads and breaks down a book or a
passage or a series for everyone. Rather, it will be all of us bringing our own thoughts, Prayer after Communion
questions, and insights on the scriptures to share equally. Guidance questions will be given to
direct our reflection, but any and all insights are welcome and encouraged. Closing Blessing
Focusing on the Sunday lessons allows us all to enter more deeply into Sunday eucharistic Sending Hymn: #763 My Life Flows On In Endless Song
worship. We will gather on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. Any and all are welcome.
Dismissal
Reflections will begin at 7pm.
Hope you can join us. ___________________________________________________________
