Deborah leads Morning and Evening prayer this week. Morning Prayer – Deborah considers a passage from Matthew’s gospel, chapter 19, verses 16 – 30. This scripture examines Jesus’ response to a follower, who asked him about the best way to gain eternal life: “Jesus said to him, ‘If you wish to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ When the young man heard this word, he went away grieving, for he had many possessions.”
