Happenings at Wawa First United – January 31

Last Sunday we enjoyed sharing our service with St Paul’s United in Marathon. (by internet). This coming Sunday is the Fifth Sunday After Epiphany.

 

Scripture Readings for this week are:

  • Isaiah 40: 21-31  Those who wait upon God shall renew their strength.
  • 1 Corinthians 9:16-23  I have become all things to all people for the gospel’s sake
  • Mark 1: 29-39 Simon’s mother-in-law and many others healed.

 

Consider what it would have been like to be healed. Is there anyone that you may know that is in the process of healing or has been healed through medical care, a prayer, the love of another, or forgiveness? Healing takes all forms, it could be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual or it could be a healing that is still in process.

Simon’s mother-in-law was in a precarious situation health wise. She had a fever that could have endangered her life. If people did not know what caused her illness and feared catching it, she may have faced isolation from the community, something that would have been tremendously difficult for her.

Jesus offered her healing. Imagine how that must have felt. When have  you experienced an act of healing in body, mind,  or spirit?  How can you offer healing to others?  ( The Gathering 2023/2024)
