Faces of Faith this week: Deborah—the Judge
The book of Judges tells the story of an in between time for the people of Israel. Now in the promised land, they alternate between following God and not following God, with judges being lifted up to lead them. Deborah is the only woman named and she leads after a time of disobedience, sitting under a palm tree to share God's wisdom and justice. She also leads them into battle, where another woman takes out the commander of the enemy army. How do we find God's wisdom?
Holy and Mighty God, we seek Your wisdom to know when to sit peacefully and to know when to engage in battle. Our strength is in You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WONDERING...
Real questions from real people to learn more about faith
|
|
What does it mean when we say we believe in the 'communion of saints' in the Apostles Creed?
Our understanding of saints includes all those who have gone before us in faith and all those who will come after us in faith and all those who are alive now. We can't do this faith thing on our own and all of these saints join us in living faithfully. When we are struggling, others are praying with us and when they are struggling, we can pray with them. We are powerfully connected!

Masks are required; gloves and hand sanitizer will be provided. New volunteers may sign up for lead slots after they are trained their first 'worker' day.
It's summer and maybe you have a bit more flexibility in your schedule? Why not add serving to your summer plans! And, yes, there is plenty of work to do, but we also have fun! Visit SignUpGenius to sign up or email Julie Slifka with questions.
