Prayer: Loving God thank you for forgiveness, mercy, and grace. You give us peace and hope, and for that we are grateful. May we live out our lives showing others your love. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Reading: Romans 5:1-11 (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: Faith, peace, grace, hope, and love are all key words for us in our belief. Justification and reconciliation are too, but they are harder to wrap our heads around. Sometimes in confirmation class when we come across a more difficult word I have the class do an acrostic. Here is my acrostic for justification. Jesus Given Unworthy of It Sin releasing Thankful for It I Believe Faith Fulfilling Interdependence Christ’s Gift Appreciated Teach Others I am hope filled One of Grace Never ending Love --Charlene Rineer
