“Each morning, first thing in my office, before checking for emails or messages, I read the New Testament passage appointed for the day,” says Rev. Matthew Diegel. “I check notes on it in a Study Bible and then take time for silent reflection.”
Beginning this September, ELCIC members have been invited to join in a year of worship as a part of the four-year Living our Faith emphasis. As a whole church, we will learn about worship, grow in our experience of worship and deepen our regular daily devotional practice.
Each week the ELCIC will post a reflection from a member on their worship practice on the ELCIC social media channels and in ELCIC News. This week’s reflection is from Rev. Matthew Diegel.
Do you have a special way that you engage in a daily devotion or worship practice? We would love to hear your submission of an idea or suggestion on how others might become more engaged in a daily devotional practice. We only need a sentence or two (40-60 words) and we welcome resources suggestions, as well.
Please email your reflection to info@elcic.ca.
