For a scriptural focus this week, consider Acts 17:22-28 (listed below). The Korean worship on Friday night will use this lesson.

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And God is not served by human hands, as if God needed anything, because God Godself gives all people life and breath and everything else.
"From one person God made every nation of people who live on earth; and God determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that people would seek God and perhaps reach out for God and find God, though God is not far from each one of us.
'For in God we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are God’s children.'"
