In my morning quiet time with God, I spend time reading his word as shared in the Methodist Book of Daily Prayer, The Upper Room Devotional, The Disciplines Devotional (based on the Revised Common Lectionary readings), Mornings With Jesus (devotionals written by women and published by Guidepost) and The Sacred Space Prayer Book (published by the Irish Jesuits). I am also reading through the Bible. This year I am reading through the Bible using the plan published in The Justice and Poverty Bible - Common English Version. I began to record a meditative reading of the book of Psalms. I will begin posting them here each day as I have posted them on my personal page. Spend a moment or two and listen...today I offer Psalm 37. Blessings, Pastor Alicia.

We reaffirm our longstanding commitment to the sacred worth of every person and to the way of peace taught and embodied by Jesus. We stand against the separation of children from their families. We detest the inhumane, evil actions that are perpetuated by governmental authorities.

I love this verse from John 3. We so often focus on John 3:16 we forget to continue reading to get the full picture that is offered in John 3:17. Yes, God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, that we all may have eternal life. Yet, we need to be reminded that Jesus did not come to condemn, to point fingers, to zero in on all our failures. He came to show us grace and mercy so that we could move beyond who and what we were to become a new creation, transformed by love and grace. Jesus does not point his finger at you. He holds his hand out to you and says, "Take my hand, come walk with me."

Sunday school and worship have been canceled for Sunday, January 12. The church parking lot is still covered with snow and any melting during the day today will refreeze overnight. We do not want anyone to risk falling. Be safe and have a blessed day.
