Please pray that a good woman J. will receive many more calls and messages with offers of a home for a cat whose owner is seriously ill and cannot care for her. She will freeze to death on the street, but the shelter will euthanize her. Only a short time left. s. Pray for pet safety, protection and home. Thank you

Summer Daily Spiritual Practice

This summer, as you feel the change in schedules and busyness all around, we want to encourage you to still take the time to engage in daily spiritual practices. Lectio 365 is a wonderful resource to start your day with some intentional time with God. Below we have provided the link to the website where you can go and download the app to start engaging with their practices. https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-365/ 

Additionally, as you go through the summer we would love for you to return to some of the spiritual practices we have done on Sunday mornings. To do this we have added a link to our spiritual practices page. https://southridgechurch.ca/spiritualpractices

Therefore the LORD is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for him are happy. Isaiah 30:18

Bible Study
resources:   
S.O.A.P. Bible Reading #2

This SOAP method of Bible study is a practice we often encourage to make a regular part of your time with God. Digging into and interacting with scripture is such a good spiritual-growth exercise, such a good place to catch a deeper glimpse of God. But even if you’ve never read the Bible before – don't worry; it’s not complicated and we’ll walk through it together step by step.

Breath Prayer
resources:   
Does Breathing Happen To You? | Breath Prayer

I want you to do nothing but notice your breathing for the next few seconds. Now I’m going to ask you a weird question… do you think breathing is something that you do, or something that happens to you?

Reflection
resources:   
Examen | Last Week

This is a practice of looking backwards and trying to notice where God was at work in the past, in order to more easily spot and open up to where God is at work in our present moments. Since the regular noise of life tends to drown out that awareness.
