Prayer: Dear God, we do your work with our hands. Accept our gift of service to our neighbor as an offering of love. Amen
Reading: Matthew 22: 15-22 (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: Hmmm…I just paid the school tax. Then this Sunday I put a check in the church offering plate. Not near equal amounts. That set me thinking. How can I give more to my Lord? Well, this is the week we are making soup - cream of broccoli and beef vegetable. Would you like to order a quart? Then two days later we are baking sugarcakes. $7 for a whole cake or $2 for a generous slice. In November, we are giving away donated winter coats. Last month while we were making soup, one of our members was repairing a stair rail and another member was working on our sound system. Yes, we are gradually getting back into church activities…in small groups. We are trying our best to render unto the Lord. In this case rendering unto the Lord with the work of our hands. --Alice Yeakel
