Scripture to ponder for the week: Jeremiah 17:7-8: Blessed are those who trust in God, whose trust is God. They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit.”

Scripture for February 20, 2022: Genesis 45:3-11,15; Psalm 37:1-11,39-40; I Corinthians 15:35-38,42-50; Luke 6:27-38

As we move through the season after the Epiphany we are reminded we are not alone, we are chosen, and called to listen for God’s voice, for God’s call in our lives. How can we make space to hear the voice of God in our lives this week? How do we live into this call from Jesus that might be difficult to make real?

Scripture to ponder for the week: Matthew 5:43-45:  You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your God in heaven.
