Introduction to this week –
“Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.” This prayer from Psalm 90 invites us, in this season of gratitude and reflection, to remember God’s enduring faithfulness and our calling to live with purpose. Our Scriptures remind us to remain alert, encourage one another, and faithfully share the gifts God has placed in our hands.
Introduction to this week’s readings –
Our readings during November speak of the end times. Zephaniah proclaims that the coming day of the Lord will be filled with wrath and distress. Paul says it will come like a thief in the night and urges us to be awake and sober. Jesus tells the parable of the talents, calling us to use our gifts, while we still have time, for the greater and common good. In a world filled with violence and despair, we gather around signs of hope—word, water, bread, and wine—eager to welcome the good news of Christ’s coming among us.
