During the coming months, we will spend time looking at five practices that build a strong spirituality. Sometimes these are called disciplines while others might use the term habits. Whatever term works for you, following practices such such as these will guarantee a closer relationship with Christ.

The five we will look at the most are : Worship, Meditation on scripture, Sabbath keeping, Prayer, and Silence. Each one of our community will be encouraged to deliberately make an effort to include one of these practices.

Amazingly, there is time in the week for these. We become casual in our faith because we neglect to set in place a discipline focus on things of God. We hurry through a routine of devotions, or prayer, or show up at church and keep an eye on the clock... Where we set aside time to focus on our relationship with God, we will experience that spiritual strength that comes as our center is renewed.

We welcome all persons to attend our worship services. Scottdale Mennonite is a vibrant mix of people from various traditions and places. Visitors enjoy our friendliness, good singing, and meaningful worship services. We believe that Jesus taught believers what it means to live as God's people and we believe that the Holy Spirit is God's messenger, actively at work in the world today. We believe that Christ taught us to love one another, even those whom we might think of as enemies. This belief shapes our response to our neighbors and to one another in our church and community.
