Discipleship is a journey that includes
1.
Daily prayer
2.
Daily scripture reading
3.
Weekly worship
4.
Growth in giving
5.
Serving others in Jesus’ name
6.
Sharing the faith story with the unchurched
If you haven’t started your journey with daily prayer and scripture
reading, you can start it now. St. Catherine’s
Sunday service bulletin includes a list of readings for the week. Alternatively, you can find the readings –
and read them – online.
Think about what you are reading. Here are a few questions to help get you
thinking:
1.
What word(s), idea(s), or phrase(s) stand out
for you?
2.
What is the passage (or Jesus) saying to you?
3.
What is Jesus calling you to do?
And here is a discipleship prayer from the Anglican Church
of Canada’s Indigenous Ministries http://www.anglican.ca/im/introgbd/:
Creator, we give you thanks for all you are and all you
bring to us for our visit within your creation. In Jesus, you place the Gospel
in the centre of this Sacred Circle through which all of creation is related.
You show us the way to live a generous and compassionate life. Give us your
strength to live together with respect and commitment as we grow in your
Spirit, for you are God, now and forever. Amen.
