REMINDER: Daylight Savings ends this Sunday, set clocks back one hour.
This autumn, we drop into various stories of the Bible sequentially, starting at the beginning — following along with our young people in Church School. We’ll spend the next few weeks looking for “God sightings”- learning about and noticing where God lives, how God shows up for us, and how we can listen for God in our lives.
Meet Elijah the prophet. Elijah lived after King Solomon — who we met last week. He is known for performing miracles. This Sunday, we hear the story of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath. God sends Elijah to a starving widow and her son. Through a miracle of multiplying food, Elijah and the widow both receive what they need.
Elijah and the widow helped each other. Both are fed by God’s abundance. What can this story teach us about how to look for “God Sightings?” What can we learn from Elijah and the widow, as we get ready for Election Day? Come Sunday to dive deeper. We will hear this sacred story, commemorate the saints in our lives, and break bread together in Communion.
In faith,
