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.

Following the Footsteps of Jesus by Florence Higgins
While traveling along the Pacific Oregon Coast, I had several opportunities to walk on the sandy beaches. Rocks of tremendous size make the Northern Pacific Coast different from many other places. The rocks scattered along the beach water interface. The waves go over and around them to smooth the sand making the beach look like an ecru carpet.

A Pilgrimage of Faith by Rev. Josh Kouri
For four years, I lived in El Paso, on the Westside of town, where you frequently can see a mountain that overlooks the city. In 1933, a parish priest in a section of El Paso, called Smeltertown, looked out his kitchen window at that rocky hill and saw a place of pilgrimage. Today, thousands climb Mount Christo Rey every Good Friday. Some walk barefoot, come carry crosses. Church groups go together and stop to sing and pray, and often the young carry water for the old. It is a pilgrimage of faith. People who cannot walk are carried, and those who cannot see are led by hand along the trail.

Living in God's Abundance or Your Scarcity? by Rev. Russ Hall
The numbers rarely feel like enough. You look at the bank balance, the bills stacked on the counter, the prices climbing higher every month, and a knot tightens in your stomach. Then the offering plate comes by, or a need crosses your path, and fear whispers that you cannot afford to give. What if you run short? What if giving away what little you have leaves you empty? The fear of scarcity can be frightening.
