The Journey

John 13:35

Scripture for February 22, 2008

So how’s the reading going? We’re on Day 4 of Better Together from our new all church study of 40 Days of Community. Don’t worry if you forgot to get your book, the chapters are short, you can catch up! Just pick it up Sunday, along with that great new Trinity t-shirt. You can also sign up for the small groups on Sunday, too.

The readings this week are about love and what that means. You might be thinking, I know what love means, Susan, do I really need to read about it? Well, we often think about love as an emotion, yet love can also be a choice we make. We know what it means to love our family and friends. But what does it mean to love our church family and those in our community? Why is that necessary at all? Well, we know that’s what we’re supposed to do, but living that out day after day isn’t always easy. We’ll talk more about why we need each other on Sunday.

Prayer

Teach us how to love like you love us, God, even when it isn’t easy and even when other people get on our last nerve…amen.
