Prayer: Dear God, in all that we do may we glorify you. Thank you for your love and for giving us the Holy Spirit to live within us. Amen
Reading: 1 Corinthians 6: 12-20 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Look at your hands. Today’s lesson tells us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit within us. Our hands have the Holy Spirit in them and with our hands we are to share God’s love. When it seems there is more to be done than can possibly be accomplished by our own hands, remember there is more power in our hands than we can possibly imagine. I have a note on my washing machine (of all places) which reads, We can do no great things – only small things with great love. – Mother Teresa What small thing can you do with great love today? Whatever it is, to God be the glory! --Ruth Gates
