Weekly Devotional
Our Weekly Devotionals are sent out every Saturday morning. They are written by different members of our McCurdy community, from staff to board members, to volunteers. Each devotional includes a Scripture reading and a reflection from the author on what it means to them.

Mary or Martha? by Linda Polson
A couple of weeks ago, I read a devotional entitled, 4 Ways to Prepare Your Heart for Easter, by AnnMarie on the “Busy Blessed Women” website. What she asked at the start of her devotional had me pondering what I would do. She asked, “What Does It Mean to Prepare Your Heart for Easter? Imagine Jesus was coming to stay at your home next week. Would you clean every corner, remove anything unworthy, or prepare His favorite meals?”

Signs of Life and Renewal by Randall W. Partin
Here on campus at McCurdy we are experiencing the renewal and return of spring—the grape hyacinth is blooming, the forsythia is brilliant yellow, the lilacs are all budding out, and the elm and cottonwood trees sprout the faintest hint of green. We are blessed with a beautiful campus full of signs of life every year at this time, with the promise of more to come. Each new day brings fresh anticipation of what lies ahead.

The Lord Your God Is with You by Dave Okerberg
This Lent, I am not feeling the self-examination; I am pulled deeper into my Love of MUSIC with songs by Aaron Copland, Mozart, Samuel Barber, and Bach…plus some songs that stop me in my tracks. I pray for other people that I love and those who are going through a tough time. Like yesterday: Bonnie Raitt and her song: “Just Like That.” And today, John Prine and his last album before he died, “The Tree of Forgiveness.” Today, it is his song, “Summer’s End/” The chorus haunts me: “Come on Home, Just come on Home, You don’t have to be alone, Just come on Home.”

The Valley of the Shadow of Death by Linda Polson
In 2016, my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to the Holy Lands with our Pastor and members of our church. We saw many of the amazing sights that are described throughout the scriptures. Especially memorable were the places where Jesus walked and taught. I was amazed at how different people in our group experienced the Holy Spirit at each stop of our tour. I loved getting to hear their reactions and reflections as we loaded back onto the bus to head to our next destination.
