Rev. Valarie Englert, Senior Pastor
Yesterday we completed a three-part worship series on the “3 Simple Rules” of the Methodist movement with a discussion of the third rule – “Stay in Love with God.”
Here are a few ways you might consider putting that rule into practice this week:
Works of Piety
– Search the scriptures
- ask questions of it
- wonder about a passage that puzzles you
- memorize a Psalm
- read the daily lectionary
– Attend virtual worship this coming Sunday
– Share the Love Feast (since we can’t gather physically for communion)
– Spend just five minutes in silent prayer
– Fast for a day or a portion of a day, or choose something to fast from for a day, like social media, the news, screens, etc.
Works of Mercy
– Gather school supplies for donation to Freeman Elementary
– Purchase food items for donation to Austin Street Center
– Learn more about anti-racism
– Check on a neighbor
– Record yourself reading a children’s book for our Learning Academy kids
