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.

A New Beginning by David Duran
With the new year, we are encouraged to shed the past and seek new beginnings. It is with this in mind, following our celebrations of the birth of Christ, that I have been thinking about the events experienced by the new Holy Family that were meant to profoundly change the world. This new beginning for them must have been dream-like as it was being orchestrated by God’s hand.

You Shall Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart!
by Rev. Tiffany Hollums
As a teenager, I would always stay up late on the last night of the year listening to that year’s ‘greatest hit songs on the radio and journaling about all the things I had learned and experienced in the previous year. Some years were more difficult or heavy to memorialize, while others were full of great tunes and fun memories. But the day I really waited for was January 1st because I got to begin a new and fresh journal! I love the thought of a new day...a fresh start…a new beginning or intention.

In the Bleak Midwinter, Love Is Sent by Rev. Steve Trout
The trees are bare and the ground is partially covered with snow and ice. A tiny little ermine is playing on top of a snow-covered wood pine at the edge of the aspen grove. This is the view out my office window in the mountains of SW Colorado. It is only nine days to Christmas as I write this, and my mind is turning to Carols and Scriptures of the season. My favorite Christmas Carol and Scripture are not what you might think. The Carol is “In the Bleak Midwinter” mostly because of the last verse...

Jesus Is the Reason for the Season! by Sheri Trujillo
This year as we spend time with our loved ones for Christmas and as we are opening gifts, let us remember the real reason we are celebrating and gathering as a family. We are celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The world is too focused on material things and how many presents we get and not really focused on why we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
