We hear the story of Peter denying Jesus three times. A devoted follower and close confidant of Jesus, Peter felt the pressures of those around him and gave into the crowd.
This week wraps up our series with the fifth person who saved the life of Moses: his wife, Zipporah. In a bizarre story of saving his life, we will look deeper to see what it reveals to us about the power and role of Zipporah.
We continue our series this week as we look at the sister of Moses. As an adult, she is a prophet and leader of women as she guides the Israelites out of Egypt alongside her brothers, tambourine in hand. Her actions of watching, observing, and celebrating seem ordinary but lead to greater things.
In the face of an angry and fearful king threatening the lives of the most vulnerable, two women had the courage to resist. Shiphrah and Puah were the names of two midwives who saved the lives of many Hebrew babies. We will hear their story this week. .
This week kicks off our new worship series on five women who saved Moses. Sometimes the brave ones are the names that no one remembers or writes down, but their impact is significant. That’s the case for our heroine in the story for this week, Pharaoh’s daughter, Bithiah, who saved baby Moses when she discovered him floating on the river.
This week, we’ll hear those timeless words reminding us that God works alongside us to bring about goodness and life. Together, we will explore how our own dogged commitment to working for change, day after day, week after week, year after year, is a gift by itself that can bring healing to our world.
In Exodus, there are very specific directions given for how to build the tabernacle—Israel’s sanctuary in the wilderness. A variety of skills, talents, and passions were needed to complete this. This week, we read a portion of this Exodus giving very specific directions given for how to build the tabernacle. We reflect on how creativity is a gift that God has given and one that can bring about beauty and connection in this world.
We hear the story of Moses and the burning bush. Moses is curious and gets closer to discover what is happening. His curiosity brings him into conversation with God, transforming his life and the lives of others. Together we’ll talk about how curiosity is a gift that can bring us closer to other people, helping to heal divisions.
Too often, we’ve been told that a successful life is a linear one. But in reality, our lives unfold with many unexpected twists and turns.
This week is always a yearly highlight, when our children and youth put on the annual Christmas program. We share the story of Jesus’ birth through a journalism lens.
