Living Springs Summer Music Moments in Faith
Has there been some moment in your journey of faith and life when the Spirit has used music to uplift, strengthen, or speak to you? Something from camp or youth group or a traditional worship time or the Christian music world?
|
|
|
During our summer worship services, we will have a series of Music Moments in Faith for disciples to share such experiences. We are not asking folks to sing or perform (although you possibly could share an excerpt or verse) - but rather offer a brief “temple talk time” to share your faith music experience. Depending on the nature of the piece, it may be possible to perform or play a small recorded excerpt or display words of a verse for everyone. The Music Moment in Faith should be no longer than 3 minutes. While God does work through all types of music, we are particularly focusing here on various forms of music of faith (not secular pieces).
If interested in sharing a Faith Music Moment, please contact Worship Chairperson, Jim Zieche, along with a description of your Faith Music Moment. Everything will need to coordinated and prepared ahead of time. We plan to schedule Faith Music Moments for the entire summer, concluding with Rally Day on August 23 (with the exception of Youth Gathering Sunday on July 19, which will already have its own many Music Moments!).
May the Spirit continue to inspire our journeys of faith with God’s gift of music, in all its amazing variety!

Lessons for Sunday, July 12
First Reading: Jeremiah 23:1-6
Jeremiah prophesied before the exile in 587 B.C. In this passage, he uses the metaphor of a shepherd to describe the bad kings who have scattered the "flock" of Israel. God promises to gather the flock and to raise up a new king from David's line to save Israel and Judah.
Psalm (ELW): Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not be in want. (Ps. 23:1)
Second Reading: Ephesians 2:11-22
The author of this letter is reminding his audience that originally they were not part of God's chosen people. Through Jesus' death, however, they are included in God's household of faith, whose cornerstone is Jesus Christ.
Gospel: Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
When Jesus sent his disciples out to teach and heal, they ministered among large numbers of people. Their work was motivated by Christ's desire to be among those in need.
