PASTOR'S MESSAGE
PASTOR'S MESSAGE

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. - Psalm 119:103-105
It is vitally important that followers of Christ be regularly reading and dwelling in God's word. When we pick up the Bible to read or hear it, the Holy Spirit meets us and directs us in what we need to hear. It is one of the primary ways that we encounter God.
When we read, the Holy Spirit lifts us words in scripture to encourage us, to direct us, to challenge us, and to inspire us to live as followers of Christ with each day loving God and loving our neighbor. In a world with so many voices and messages, regularly spending time in scripture helps to tune our hearts and minds to God.
As a way to encourage everyone at St. Paul's to be regularly reading scripture and to stay connected over the summer, we are inviting you to join us in reading 3 books of the Bible using the YouVersion Bible App. We will read Ephesians in June, the Gospel of John in July, and James in August using reading plans available on the app.
You can use the following link to download the app and connect with St. Paul's Lutheran Church: https://cutt.ly/SPLC-BibleApp
If you'd like to join a discussion board through the app to share your thoughts on the daily reading, feel free to contact me at pastormike@splc.church to get you added. Feel free to contact Pastor Luke or me with any questions on how to get on the app.
May your summer be restful, filled with connections and new memories with loved ones, and time to enjoy the gift of creation that God gives to us.
God's peace to you,
Pastor Mike
