Scripture: 1st Corinthians 12:12-14
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. Indeed, the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Thought for the Day: I love our denomination, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). This weekend, Cypress Creek Christian Church is hosting the Regional Gathering of all the Disciples of Christ churches in Texas and New Mexico. If you join us for all or even part of the Assembly, you will discover the wonderful diversity of our denomination. Back in 1985, I attended my first General Assembly (United States and Canada) where I saw the wonderful diverse beauty of our church, not only in race, but in theology and spirituality. I heard things during that Assembly that stretched me. There were opinions offered that I found troubling, but would later come to understand and appreciate. Since then, the Assemblies have been a chance to expand my divine-window, and to see more of the diverse beauty of God. If you are not currently registered, I invite you to join us for worship on Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 4pm. You don’t need to register for worship. Come and have expanded the window through which you glimpse God.
Prayer: O God whose spirit animates and empowers the varied members of the church, we pray that you will broaden our vision by which we see you. Amen.
