Peace in God's World
A Devotional Guide for Use by Educators in Lutheran Settings for 2007-2008
It is our pleasure to present the 2007-2008 ELCA schools and early childhood education centers devotion guide. Our theme this year is Peace in God's World. The devotions in this guide have been written by teachers, administrators, pastors, and friends of Lutheran education.
We ask that you use this guide to provide a weekly devotion for staff, board meetings, and other times that the school community gathers. We encourage you to freely reproduce this devotion guide for use in your school or congregation.
"Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals. The careful balance between silence and words, withdrawal and involvement, distance and closeness, solitude and community forms the basis of the Christian life.” (Out of Solitude by Henri J. M. Nouwen)
Jesus found strength by going off by himself or with his disciples to pray and have discussion. During these times energy grew to go and teach and baptize. As a faculty, school board, or groups within the congregational community use this devotion guide to find that time alone and be lifted up personally as well as in your work with students and their families.
