9/28 Daily Rhythm of Prayer & Scripture SCRIPTURE: Philippians 4:4-9 “And the God of peace will be with you.” DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you thought that because you are a follower of Jesus, your life would be easier, more blessed, or have less suffering or worry?

There will be a few differences, such as: We will now say “El Señor esté con ustedes” instead of “El Señor sea con ustedes.” We will now say “Cristo vendrá de nuevo” instead of “Cristo volverá.” While we update the Spanish, we’re also going to update a few differences in English between our Sunday bulletin and the 2019 prayer book. When something changes in the liturgy, it may feel strange or awkward, we may not prefer it at first, and we will make mistakes
