11-13-22 - Protests (for) Change
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
Thursday Nov 10, 2022
The readings this week are from Isaiah 65:17-25 and Isaiah 12, or Malachi 4:1-2a and Psalm 98, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13, and Luke 21:5-19. This week we discuss the need for us to be open to God to change our plans. This also allows for us to see other sides of God and be able to see how God moves in the world. 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:
Where do We need to let go?
This can be taken personally,
it can be as a community,
as a church community,
as a nation as a world! #FaithandSciPod
