INTROIT
*CALL
TO WORSHIP Psalm 31: 1-5, 15,16
In you, O LORD, I seek
refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your
righteousness deliver me.
Incline your ear to me;
rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me,
a strong
fortress to save me.
You are indeed my rock and
my fortress;
for your
name's sake lead me and guide me,
take me out of the net that
is hidden for me,
for you are my
refuge.
Into your hand I commit my
spirit; you have redeemed me,
O LORD,
faithful God.
My times are in your hand;
deliver me
from the hand of my enemies and
persecutors.
Let your face shine upon
your servant;
save me in
your steadfast love.

RESPONSIVE CALL TO PRAYER:
Education is a process of
introducing and reintroducing information to people, until concepts are
assimilated and turned into actions by the student.
It is a
process performed by a teacher, not by a
magician.
This process of learning
takes place at differing rates in different people.
One would have
thought that people exposed directly
to Jesus, as
Thomas and Philip were. would have
understood
Jesus’ destination and relationship to God.
And Thomas, having had Jesus explain that he was ‘the way, and the
truth, and the life,’ how could he be so full of doubt later, after the
resurrection?
Was Thomas just dense?
Education is a process of
introducing and reintroducing information to people. Assimilation doesn’t always, or usually, take
place in one’s initial exposure to the subject.
Besides in each student
there are levels of learning
determined by age and experience. With some things
and in some people it just takes more time.
Lord God, we thank you for
teachers who have been patient with us in our whole and half heart, attempts to
learn about relating to You.
Most of all we
thank you for Your Spirit, which has
opened stirred from us that confession, that Jesus is the Christ… Flesh
and blood could never do that. Amen.
