Happy Sunday, Friends!
We tried hard to keep our video shorter today, but we packed in a review of our last video, a new story about a baby in a river, and a special announcement for families with kids. We hope you are staying safe and indoors as the fires continue to affect the air quality. We pray you have a blessed Sunday and that God fills you with hope as you start a new week!
TALK IT OUT
Can you review the sequence of events, starting with Pharaoh's order to the Hebrew women who helped deliver babies?
How did God take care of baby Moses even in a scary time?
Who showed faith and courage in the story?
What are you wondering about after hearing the story of baby Moses?
APPLY IT
Moses's mom was filled with so much love for her baby, and she was creative and courageous to make a basket for Moses to float on the river. We can imagine that she must have been very afraid, but somehow she trusted God enough to try what probably seemed like a crazy idea. Here’s an exercise you can do to think about your own circumstances that make you afraid: Weave your own basket following the directions on this post. As you weave the paper together, talk to God about any fears you have and any areas where you could use some creative ideas from God. Listen for what God might want to tell you as you create your basket. (And you can certainly draw a baby to put inside it if you want!) Let the basket be a reminder that God has a purpose and a plan for you—just as He did for Moses.
We miss you and love you!
Much love,
Pastors Lindsay and Mary
