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.

God's Presence Love by David Duran
Our faith leaders teach us that God’s presence is all-encompassing, constantly within and around us, to remind us to use His power to give us meaning and purpose.
Overwhelming love leads us to believe that newborns are perfect, even knowing that over time this little incredible miracle will develop cracks that will need repairs during its lifetime, much like Kintsugi, which means “golden joinery.” This is a centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery using lacquer mixed with powdered precious metals.

God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, Is with Us
by Rev. Tiffany Hollums
Our family recently moved to Bernalillo, New Mexico, as my husband will soon be the pastor at Rio Rancho United Methodist Church. Our new home adds about 30 minutes to my drive to the beautiful Española Valley. I have had so many people ask about the drive and have been concerned that the commute would be hard; but the truth is, I love the drive. There is nothing quite like driving early in the morning and seeing the mountains with fog, and driving through Santa Fe with the beautiful adobe houses, then passing through the Pueblos leading to the beautiful Española Valley. There is just something about the drive and the beautiful scenery that is a balm to my soul.

Love In Any Language by Rev. Jeanie Williams
Tomorrow the church celebrates the Day of Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus’ resurrection, when the presence of God’s Spirit palpably filled the place where Jesus’ disciples were gathered, in the form of wind and fire, speaking loudly and clearly through them for all to hear, each from diverse places and circumstances, hearing God’s words in their own native language, each understanding clearly what was spoken to them.

The Lord God Will Be with You by Sheri Trujillo
Joshua 1:9 commands, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Recently I have had a few people in my life get a cancer diagnosis. This is a challenging thing to deal with, and I pray that all goes well with the treatments and with their spirit. I can imagine this can break someone’s spirit, but I also know that with God anything is possible. The Faith that I have seen in these individuals is pretty awesome.
