Fortunately we post the songs for next weekend’s worship on our website so that you can know them. Check it out! Go to whchurch.org and click on ”Watch/Listen.” Then click ”Worship Set Lists.” TODAY’S MINISTY — Echo, our ministry for 7th-12th grade wrapped up a summer of retreats, fests, trips, and hangouts.

There’s something for everyone! LECTIO DIVINA This practice is based on a way of reading the Bible that is over 1,500 years old. It means “divine reading.” It’s a simple way of slowing down enough to interact with a specific scripture passage while asking the Holy Spirit to use the reading to speak to your heart. THIS WEEK’S PASSAGE: JOHN 1:1-2, 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth. FOUR LISTENING QUESTIONS Read the passage: What stands out to you? Reflect on this point: What comes to mind as you reflect on the passage? Pray the point: Turn any insight you have into a prayer. Wait on God: What do you sense God speaking to you? We want to know how the You Before Me series is helping you practice Kingdom hospitality. Use the #youbeforeme hashtag and share your journey with us! We’re checking Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and every weekend during our services we’ll highlight posts that use the hashtag.
