In the morning let us prepare for the new day with the words of the New Testament and in the evening let us reflect on how God moves in the lives of his people.

Morning Reading from the New Testament: Mark 7: 1-13

The Pharisees questioned Jesus about tradition. He said, “Evil comes from within.” He delivered a Gentile girl and healed a deaf man.

Evening Reading from the Old Testament: Numbers 18-20

The LORD told Aaron: “I have given you the Levites to work at the Tent of Meeting. Everything that is devoted to the LORD is yours.”

Burn a heifer outside the camp for the water of cleansing. Anyone who is unclean and does not cleanse themselves shall be cut off.
