Prayer: Dear God, you call us to worship and obey so we sing which is sometimes just a joyful noise. Hear us as we obey your call. Amen
Reading: Psalm 95 (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: Here is another Psalm that encourages us to sing praises! Sing to the Lord! Make a joyful noise! Many years ago, residents of the County Home were allowed to walk into town to attend prayer meetings at our church. It was a good mile walk! Two elderly gentlemen came faithfully every week. The one could not carry a tune but he still sang heartily with a big smile. No one minded. His joy was so evident and contagious. We just smiled and sang all the more heartily ourselves. God encourages us to be joyful! Let us obey even if a bit noisy about it. -- Alice Yeakel
