Today’s Reading: Ezra 3:1–13
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“The people assembled as one.”
(Ezra 3:1)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Maintaining unity (in the Church)
A Thought for Today
Unity often carries both joy and sorrow. Hope grows when people choose to move forward together.
What This Means for Us Today
As the foundation of the temple is laid, some rejoice while others weep. Yet the people stand united in worship. Unity does not erase pain, but it allows hope to rise alongside it.
Carry This With You
Hold space for both joy and grief.
Unity allows hope to grow.
A Simple Prayer
God, help us walk together in hope.
Teach us to trust You as we rebuild.
Amen.
Today’s Invitation
Notice where hope is growing today.
Thank God for unity that carries you forward.
