Please use these suggested scriptures, questions, and activities to help you explore your faith.
November 1: Read Matthew 5:1-12
All Saints Day In Matthew 5:1-12, Jesus teaches his disciples the joyous thrill and radiant gladness of the Christian life described in the Beatitudes. On this All Saints Day, remember saints you have known who have faithfully served the Lord as Christians.
November 8: Read Psalm 78:1-7
Psalm 78 instructs us to” tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.” Can you remember stories your parents or grandparents told you about how God was active in their lives? Will you pass these stories on to future generations?
November 15: Read Matthew 25:14-30
The Parable of the Talents teaches us to use our God-given gifts, be they little or great, in service to God. What are your gifts, and how can you use them in your church and to help others?
November 22: Read Matthew 25:31-46
Christ the King Sunday is celebrated on the last Sunday of ordinary time, the Sunday before Advent. Read Matthew 25:31-46, and reflect on Jesus’s commission to help others with a loving heart. Think of ways you or your church can show love by feeding, clothing, visiting and welcoming God’s children.
November 29: Read First Sunday of Advent
“Advent” means “coming” or “arrival.” During the season of Advent, we celebrate Christ’s coming into the world and watch with expectant hope for his coming again. As we journey through Advent, remember God’s promises of “hope, peace, joy, and love,” and think of ways you will keep Christ as the center of your Christmas preparations.
It's Christmas Time!
