Prayer: We come to you, Christ, our living stone. Build us into a spiritual house of your love. We proclaim your mighty acts. Thank you for your mercy. Amen
Reading: I Peter 2: 2-10 (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: It’s one thing to think of God as our rock as we did yesterday and that illustration from Psalms (31) is certainly one to hold onto and stand upon. Today we are thinking of Christ as a living stone. And not only Christ! We are to be living stones, too. So, I am thinking about the sturdiness of a stone. There is a strength inherent in a stone. Now imagine that sturdiness and strength of stones put together – built into a spiritual house. That is us with Christ as our cornerstone. How wonderful to be God’s people having received his mercy. Stone by stone built together, let’s proclaim the mighty acts of God. --Ruth Gates
