Faith Formation Focus in November:
David
|
|
|
Each month we will learn about a new person in the Bible and how that person can teach us how to be a better disciple in today's world.
Our focus this month is on David as a boy, David as a leader of an army against Goliath, as a psalmist and harp player, and upon the Lord’s covenant to David and to God’s people.
We encourage all ministry teams and groups to focus on the passages relating to David for your November devotions.

Would you like to assist in teaching our young people on Sunday mornings? Please contact Leslie Bloss (lbloss3306@hotmail.com) or Lexanne Graves (Lexanne@livingspringscolumbia.org) if you are interested.

Lessons for Sunday, November 1
First Reading: Isaiah 25:6-9
Isaiah sees a vision of the end of days, when the Lord will gather all God’s people on God’s holy mountain and will prepare for them a rich feast. At this banquet the Lord will wipe the tears from all eyes. And there will be no more sorrow, for God will destroy death itself.
Psalm (ELW): Psalm 24
They shall receive blessing from the God of their salvation. (Ps. 24:5)
Second Reading: Revelation 21:1-6a
Here is a vision of the new heaven and new earth in which God resides fully with God’s people so that mourning, despair, and pain have been eradicated. These renewing words from the God who spans all of time are trustworthy and true.
Gospel: John 8:11:32-44
Through the raising of Lazarus, Jesus offers the world a vision of the life to come, when death and weeping will be no more.
