Scripture: Matthew 7:7-11

Matthew 7:7 is a familiar verse for many of us: "Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you." (NRSV) How does it feel to know that we can ask God for something? How does it feel to know that we can search for and find God, and that God searches for us? How does it feel to know that God will welcome us with open arms, when we pursue love and grace? As you engage with today's activities, think about these feelings and talk about them with your family.

Holy Eucharist

Sunday, August 14, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Worship in the Episcopal Church rests on scripture and the traditions of the elegant language of the Book of Common Prayer. While the worship might seem more formal than spontaneous, we reliably read scripture every time we worship together, and we follow the liturgy that has stood the test of time. Our worship is in letting the liturgy carry us along into a deeper spiritual awareness and connection with God.
