Friday 2 August

Leviticus 23:1,4-11,15-16,27,34-37, Ps.80, Matthew 13:54-58

Feasting, fasting, faith and family

Families celebrate milestones in unique ways and adult children love remembering and passing on those traditions. Retelling our stories builds gratitude, connects us with our best values. The Israelites honoured milestones in worship festivals. The church invites us to worship in feasting and fasting traditions, remembering our journey with God. We’re invited to festival and song but sometimes repetition tempts us to boredom and we take God for granted. Pray today for gratitude and faith to worship with joy the wonder of Jesus in our midst.
