Loving Creator,
As we approach another weekend we reflect on the way we use leisure time. We all need Sabbath, O Lord, and yet we fill our Saturdays and Sundays with activity and, often frenetic behavior. Please forgive us, O Lord, for not taking the time to rest, reflect and be refreshed. On the seventh day You did no work. Help us to understand the labor of the week is sufficient to sustain us on the Sabbath. May we pause this Saturday or Sunday to enjoy rest and leisure. May we find our peace in You and intentionally come to You in worship. This is our prayer in Jesus’ name. AMEN.

The Regional Assembly is underway in Duncan. Devon McAnally, Valerie Driscoll, Carolyn and I are here now along with John and Sally Wheeler and our youth who are part of the Regional Youth Council. Don Johnson, James Phillips, and a number of additional youth will be here this today. Please pray for this event.
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
