Prayer: Dear God, whenever and wherever we share a bit of Good News, we are missionaries of your Word. Strengthen our hearts and direct our ways as we share your love. Amen
Reading: I Thessalonians 3: 9-13 (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: Let us give thanks for Timothy and all who follow the teachings of Jesus and spread His word to others. Let us all be missionaries in our own way. As a teenager I was approached by an older member of our congregation telling me I should become a missionary to Nicaragua and Honduras. No way, I thought! The idea scared me and I did not pursue her recommendation. But through sharing music and stories with the children of my church and the public library I hope I have become a kind of a missionary. Always choosing songs and books with a positive message. We can all use and share our own special talents to inspire and help others. -- Alice Yeakel
