6-2-24 - Action in Sabbath

The readings for this week are 1 Samuel 3:1-10 (11-20) with Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18, or Deuteronomy 5:12-15 with Psalm 81:1-10, 2 Corinthians 4:5-12, and Mark 2:23-3:6.  This week we discuss how Jesus caused the Pharisees to challenge their understanding of Sabbath.  We in the same way need to be able to challenge our understanding of what is normal.  We are seeing microplastics affecting the earth all over in many different ways and when do we say enough is enough and challenge our understanding of normal.  Rethinking this and seeing the whole eco-system as part of the creation that we are tasked with taking care of, might cause us in our Sabbath to come out and take action in small ways.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question:

How can we be better stewards of the environment even when it is difficult?  #FaithandSciPod
