Thrive Faith Formation Tip - Today is Indigenous Ministry Sunday, set aside to celebrate the gifts and richness that Indigenous people bring to life in Canada and the United States. Storytelling is an important part of Indigenous cultures. It is one way they pass on the story of their people and their history. The Bible is the story of God and God’s people. Telling Bible stories is a way we pass along God’s story from one generation to the next. These stories help us to know who God is and what God has done. What is your favorite Bible story? Why do you like it? What does it tell you about God? How does it affect the way you live today? Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Thrive para la Formación en la Fe - Hoy es el Domingo del Ministerio Indígena, un día dedicado a celebrar los dones y la riqueza que los pueblos indígenas aportan a la vida en Canadá y Estados Unidos. Contar historias es una parte importante de las culturas indígenas. Es una forma en que transmiten la historia de su gente y su legado. La Biblia es la historia de Dios y de su pueblo. Contar historias bíblicas es una manera de transmitir la historia de Dios de generación en generación. Estas historias nos ayudan a conocer quién es Dios y lo que Él ha hecho. ¿Cuál es tu historia bíblica favorita? ¿Por qué te gusta? ¿Qué te dice sobre Dios? ¿Cómo afecta la forma en que vives hoy?

Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 오늘은 캐나다와 미국 원주민들의 은사와 문화유산을 기념하는 원주민 사역 주일입니다. 스토리텔링은 원주민 문화에서 중요한 역할을 하며, 그들이 자신의 이야기와 역사를 전하는 주요한 방식 중 하나입니다. 성경은 하나님과 그분의 백성의 이야기로, 이를 나누는 것은 하나님의 이야기를 다음 세대에 전하는 중요한 방법입니다. 성경 이야기는 하나님이 누구시며 무엇을 하셨는지 알게 합니다. 당신이 가장 좋아하는 성경 이야기는 무엇인가요? 왜 그 이야기가 마음에 드나요? 그 이야기를 통해 하나님에 대해 어떤 것을 알게 되었나요? 그리고 그 이야기가 오늘날 당신의 삶에 어떤 영향을 끼쳤나요?

Thrive Faith Formation Tip - As you celebrate the birthday of your country this week (Canada, July 1; United States, July 4), spend some time praying for your country’s leaders.

Go for a walk this week, near a civic space or building if you’re able, praying that your country will walk humbly with God. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive

Thrive Faith Formation Tip - In Joshua 4, God instructs the Israelites to gather twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan River as a reminder of what God has done for them. As we move into the second half of the year, create your own remembrances from the first half of the year. What moments serve as reminders of God’s care, provision, and lovingkindness? Write them on a poster and hang them in your home as a sign of God’s faithfulness. Or gather rocks, paint them, write keywords on them, and display them along a walkway outside or in a common room in your home. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Thrive para la Formación en la Fe - En Josué 4, Dios instruye a los israelitas a recoger doce piedras del medio del río Jordán como recordatorio de lo que Dios ha hecho por ellos. A medida que avanzamos hacia la segunda mitad del año, crea tus propios recordatorios de la primera mitad del año. ¿Qué momentos sirven como recordatorios del cuidado, la provisión y la bondad amorosa de Dios? Escribe estos momentos en un cartel y cuélgalo en tu hogar como señal de la fidelidad de Dios. O recoge piedras, píntalas, escribe palabras clave en ellas y colócalas a lo largo de un camino exterior o en una sala común de tu hogar. Presentado por Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 여호수아 4장에서 하나님은 이스라엘 백성들에게 요단강 한가운데에서 열두 개의 돌을 가져와 하나님께서 그들을 위해 하신 일을 기억하라고 명령하셨습니다. 우리도 한 해의 후반부로 접어들며 상반기에 있었던 일들을 되돌아보는 시간을 가져봅시다. 하나님의 돌보심과 공급하심, 그리고 인자하심을 느낀 순간들이 있었나요? 그 순간들을 포스터에 적어 집에 걸어두며 하나님의 신실하심을 기념해 보세요. 또는 돌멩이를 모아 색칠하고, 그 위에 핵심 단어를 적어 집 앞 길이나 거실에 놓아보세요.

Thrive Faith Formation Tip - In the church year we are in “Ordinary Time,” a season named not because it is less significant than other church seasons but because it’s a time to focus on faithfulness in our ordinary, day-to-day lives. This week, ponder how you can “take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering” (Romans 12:1-2, MSG). Choose one daily activity that you can write a simple prayer about, and say that prayer each day. Small practices like this can make us mindful of God's presence in the ordinary. Brought to you by Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Consejo de Thrive para la Formación en la Fe - En el calendario de la iglesia, estamos en el “Tiempo Ordinario”, una temporada que no se llama así porque sea menos significativa que otras temporadas, sino porque es un tiempo para enfocarnos en la fidelidad en nuestras vidas cotidianas. Esta semana, reflexiona sobre cómo puedes “tomar tu vida cotidiana, ordinaria—tu dormir, comer, ir al trabajo y caminar—y ponerla ante Dios como una ofrenda” (Romanos 12:1-2, MSG). Elige una actividad diaria sobre la cual puedas escribir una oración simple y di esa oración cada día. Prácticas pequeñas como esta pueden hacernos conscientes de la presencia de Dios en lo ordinario. Presentado por Thrive: crcna.org/Thrive
Thrive 신앙 훈련 팁 - 교회력에서 지금은 '일반주일 기간'입니다. 이 시기는 다른 교회 절기보다 덜 중요한 것이 아니라, 평범한 일상 속에서 신실하게 살아가는 데 집중하는 시기입니다. 이번 주에는 "여러분의 일상생활, 곧 자고 먹고 일하고 돌아다니는 모든 것을 하나님 앞에 예물로 드리십시오"(롬 12:1-2, 메시지성경)라는 말씀을 떠올리며, 어떻게 하면 우리의 평범한 일상을 하나님께 드릴 수 있을지 묵상해 보세요. 매일 하는 활동 중 하나를 선택해 그 활동에 대한 짧은 기도문을 작성하고, 매일 그 기도를 드려보세요. 이러한 작은 실천들이 우리의 평범한 일상 속에서 하나님의 임재를 더 깊이 깨닫게 할 것입니다.

World Renew
Called to Serve One Another Humbly in Love - Galatians 5:13 teaches us we were called to freedom, and our freedom is meant to be used to serve one another humbly in love. Sadly, hundreds of thousands of refugee families around the world live trapped by fear and robbed of the opportunity to freely live up to their full potential. Next week, Refugee Sunday, join World Renew and learn how through our gifts of support to the World Renew Refugee Sponsorship and Resettlement Program, or through sponsorship, we can be part of the story of not only sharing Christ’s love with refugee families, but also sharing the gift of freedom. For more information go to: worldrenew.ca/refugeesunday
Join World Renew for Refugee Sunday - The world is currently facing a refugee crisis. Conflict and violence drive people out of their homelands. But even as these people flee in search of safety and stability, many continue to live in fear that they will never find a place to truly call home—a place where they feel welcomed and where they feel free to pursue their hopes and dreams. Refugees who settle in Canada say, “I am free.” They celebrate the freedom to practice religion, to pursue a professional career, and even the freedom to ride a bicycle! Today is Refugee Sunday. Through your gift of support to the World Renew Refugee Sponsorship and Resettlement Program, you can help change the story of fear to one of hope and freedom for refugees. To donate, call 1-888-WRLD-RNW or go online to: worldrenew.ca/refugeesunday
Thank you from World Renew - Thank you for your gift of support to the World Renew Refugee Sponsorship and Resettlement Program.
