Here are some ways that you can choose to read the text.

1. Underline words or phrases that seem key or important to you. Put a question mark next to anything that puzzles you.
2. Focus on the key words as a form of prayer. Contemplate them.
3. For what do you want to give thanks to God in the light of the text? Make that a prayer.
4. Read or re-read a longer section of the text to get better sense of its overall meaning.
5. Read the text in a different translation. Go to biblegateway.com – have a look at The New Revised Standard Version, The New International Version, The Contemporary English Version, or The Message (paraphrase, not a translation as such.)

Or ask yourself these questions:-

• What unites you?
• What make you distinctive?
• When you look at the church family to which you belong,
• What unites us?
• What makes us different?
• Thank God for the person who unites us best: Jesus.

Blessing
Bless us, O God!
May we be united in love for you, and because of you
united as your holy people,
united together in you.
Amen
