Daily Reading

Today's City reading:

Week 1, Day 2

Genesis 11:1-9

At one time, the whole Earth spoke the same language. It so happened that, as they moved out of the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled down. They said to one another, ‘Come, let’s make bricks and fire them well.’ They used brick for stone and tar for mortar. Then they said, ‘Come, let’s build ourselves a city and a tower that reaches Heaven. Let’s make ourselves famous so we won’t be scattered here and there across the Earth.’ GOD came down to look over the city and the tower those people had built. GOD took one look and said, ‘One people, one language; why, this is only a first step. No telling what they’ll come up with next – they’ll stop at nothing! Come, we’ll go down and garble their speech so they won’t understand each other.’ Then GOD scattered them from there all over the world. And they had to quit building the city. That’s how it came to be called Babel, because there GOD turned their language into ‘babble’. From there GOD scattered them all over the world.

Week 3, Day 4

+ We draw near to God, Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.

 

Silence

 

Readings

 

Silence

 

Humility

 

  • We want to learn from others, seeking to shape what we do in light of the experiences, discoveries, successes and mistakes of fellow-workers.

 

Where have experiences been shared recently?

What have you taken from that sharing?

What have you contributed to it?

Is there something else that needs to be shared your with church, your team?

 

Living God

thank you for never leaving us alone

in the work you call us to do.

We thank you for Urban Expression

and everyone who works within it.

Thank you for the richness of experience

the diversity of gifting

the depth of hope

the quality of commitment

all held here.

We pray that our relationships

will be honest, open and true;

that we will never fear vulnerability with each other

but help to build each other up;

through sharing our experiences

reflecting on your presence in them

discovering who we really are

and working out what we should do.

 

Help us to listen well to each other

to speak words wisely

to hold silences sensitively

to be as willing to learn as to teach

so that in all things

you are glorified.

Let your kingdom come!

 

Free prayer

 

The Lord's Prayer

 

Lord, in your mercy

Let your kingdom come!
