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.

Walking in Faith by Randall W. Partin
One of my spiritual practices is walking. I have been on pilgrimage a few times, but even walking through a park, or my neighborhood, or hiking on a trail in the mountains nourishes my soul. There is something about the rhythm of the walk, the fresh air, the landscape that speaks to me in a way that few other things do—it is undoubtedly a “means of grace” for me, a way for God to speak to me and reach me that abounds in God’s care and love. If I walk long enough, or far enough, I often catch myself whispering a breath-prayer as I step, subconsciously repeating a petition to God (and listening expectantly for a response).

Love Your Neighbor as Yourself by David Okerberg
Jesus seems to make Christianity seem very easy – just two things.
I will not forget a visit with a seventh-grade girl during my time at McCurdy. Her body language and what she said made it very clear to me: This child of God does not love herself. And then in my career as a pastor, I met so many people that did not love themselves.

In the Beginning Was the Word by Kercida McClain
I simply do not believe that God intended the Word and the written word to be available only to a select few. Literacy is a right, not a privilege. For children who might never leave the county, it is a chance to go to Paris with Madeleine. For people who might never meet a biologist working to keep an animal from extinction, it is a chance to meet Jane Goodall and so much more. The world is opened when we open a book. And to a child living in an untenable situation, it is a way to escape to a better place, even if only for a few minutes.
