Community Reading Plan

As a community, we want to get to know Jesus through the spiritual practice of daily quiet, prayer, and scripture reading:

Revelation
Read and reflect on the teaching passage from Revelation through the week.

Gospel of John
Read and reflect on a chapter from the Gospel of John through the week.

Psalms
Read and pray a Psalm each day.

Practical Reading Tips

1) Commit to (at least) 15 min a day for quiet reading and prayer.
Embracing this habit may be the most life-changing opportunity.

2) Start with 30-60 seconds of silence, taking deep breaths to quiet your mind and heart. Pray this prayer: “Speak Jesus, I’m listening.”

3) For Revelation and John, read on the first day, or consider re-reading each day, or break into small chunks through the week.

4) Read the Psalm for the day as a prayer, speaking to God and letting God speak to you. Pick one line that stands out to you as your personal prayer for the day.

5) Start wherever you are, not where you think you should be.

Reflection
Prayer of St. Patrick's

St. Patrick was a follower of Jesus hundreds of years ago and was known for many things, one of which being this prayer. These words, written so long ago, still ring true today. When you struggle to find the words, allow this prayer to become a reflection and connect with the presence of Christ all around you. 

Breath Prayer
Prince of Peace | Breath Prayer

Isaiah tells us that despite the fact that government of all humanity's upon Jesus' shoulders, his core identity was as the Prince of Peace...... 

At Southridge, we believe that LGBTQ+ people are deeply loved by God and are full image bearers of God, each bringing unique value to our community. In that spirit, everyone is welcome to belong and participate in the life of our church.
