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 5

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

 

Silence

 

Readings

 

Silence

 

Humility

 

  • We are careful not to drain other local churches of their often limited resources, but hope to be an encouragement and support to them.

 

Picture the other churches in the area.

Is one calling for your attention today?

Dream a dream: what could this church be?

Hold the present and potential before God

 

Living God

your story of our salvation

began with your world's beginning;

and we thank you that you've

invited us to be part of that story today.

Disciples have come before us

and will come after us

and you choose to use us all

in loving the world.

We thank you for brothers and sisters

in other communities around here;

people with hope and vision

people with questions and concerns

people searching for truth

people longing for healing.

 

In all that we do

keep us attentive to their needs,

their aspirations,

their boundaries

so that we never call from them

something they just can't give

or do

or be

but help us in all our relating

to deepen friendship

and welcome strangers

as we journey on together.

 

Free prayer

 

The Lord's Prayer

 

Lord, in your mercy

Let your kingdom come!
