Prayer: Give us life, Lord. Give us love. Give us peace. Amen.
Reading: Ezekiel 37 (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: A few years ago, as part of our camp stuff study of this Bible passage, our chaplain to the staff, Jim Bricker, asked the staff to write a parody song based on the camp song, Dem Bones. We share it here today. CHORUS: Dem bones gonna rise again. I know it, know it. Indeed I know it brother, I know it, whee! Dem bones gonna rise again. God walked through a desert with nothing to give (Dem bones gonna rise again) He asked me, “Son, can these bones live?” (Dem bones gonna rise again) CHORUS I said to Him from down below (Dem bones gonna rise again) “Sovereign Lord, only you know.” (Dem bones gonna rise again) CHORUS Dry bones now hear the good Lord’s Word (Dem bones gonna rise again) Skin, tendons and flesh to you I’ll afford (Dem bones gonna rise again) CHORUS A rattling sound came up from the ground (Dem bones gonna rise again) But the bones they still weren’t dancing around (Dem bones gonna rise again) CHORUS But the bones and air still needed to meet (Dem bones gonna rise again) And the breath came down and they stood up on their feet. (Dem bones gonna rise again) CHORUS
