WORSHIP
“The Lord loves righteousness and justice, and the earth is full of His unfailing love. God is with you in all that you do, so draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Drawn from Psalm 33:5, Genesis 21:22, James 4:8 and Proverbs 3:6
This week at Mayfield, we invite you to explore some unconventional ways of unpacking the word of God and carrying it into our everyday lives. You may notice that I have woven four passages together into one reading this week. On Sunday, we will gently pull them apart and consider each one on its own. They come from different places in Scripture, all four share a common thread: the call to draw near to God, to recognize His hand at work in our lives, and to open ourselves to His love and guidance. Read side by side, they speak to one another in ways we might miss if we encountered them in isolation.
This Sunday, we will set aside time to reflect honesty on what helps and what hinders our relationship with God: the habits, hopes, and distractions that either draw us closer to God or quietly pull us away. Pens and paper will be provided so you can record your private reflections, and we will make space for contemplative prayer, a change to slow down, be sill, and listen. Whether this kind of worship feels familiar or entirely new to you, we hope you will come with an open heart.
Join us this Sunday as we deepen our faith and relationship with God together.
Rev. Lisa Naumann
