Scripture for Reflection and Preparation
1 Timothy 2:1-2 “1 you, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will
be able to teach others also.”
Psalm 133:1 “1 How good and pleasant it is when brothers can live together!”
1 Peter 2:13-15 “13 Submit to every human institution because of the lord, whether to the Emperor as the supreme authority,
14 or to governors as those sent out by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For
it is god’s will that you, by doing good, silence the ignorance of foolish people.”
