If you were given the alphabet and told to come up with a word for each letter to describe God, could you do it? That was the challenge during September’s Second Saturday. As people got food and built community, they enjoyed praising God as they brainstormed different words to describe Him from letters A thru Z.

As we begin Building His Church: A 50 Day Spiritual Journey, it is important to give thanks and praise to God for who He is and what He has done in our individual lives. We should begin this journey of prayer in the same way Jesus taught His followers, “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed by your name’” (Matthew 6:9). Let us start out on the right foot saying together, “Hallowed be thy name, Lord God.”

In all, it was a great Second Saturday of fellowship, learning and praising God together.

The only trouble we had was coming up with a word that describes God beginning with the letter “X.” Maybe you can help?

    Love the use of xenodochial Diane as that is a big and fancy word. Also, love your creativity in the use of XRAY.

    My dad suggested X-ray as well for the same reason! I love the word xenodochial! I think that you would have won a prize if you had come to 2nd Saturday! :)
