As we continue to pray for a solution to our situation let us remember the Word has so much to offer us in comfort and peace. We will be having a Zoom meeting this Saturday at 9 AM. If you would like to join us just email me at sunger@archdpdx.org and I will send you the link.
Allowing scripture to sooth, inform and help us on our journey is an avenue to allowing God to guide and inform us. Take a moment and allow God to speak to your heart. The example of the many saints that have allowed God to touch their hearts through scripture encourages us to continue to seek God’s presence in the Word. Matthew Kelly, a well known author says “Why don’t people read the bible anymore? Because it has the power to change our lives.” Our lives in the past 6 weeks have been changed and we need to move forward to what’s next. Allow the Scripture to give you the guidance to move to the next step.
