Knowing God :: Jehovah
The Rev. Karin Hejmanowski, preaching

He is Risen! He is risen indeed!
This week we continue our Easter celebrations, living in the glow of the presence of Christ. On Sunday we will look at Moses' experience of God and what that means for us.
This is the fourth Sunday of the month, so come and let others pray for you. We'll have our circle of healing prayer at our Early Light service and prayer stations available after each of our services.
Do come and join us at one of our three services at 7:50 a.m., 10 a.m., or 5p.m. I'll look forward to seeing you there!
Peace,
Karin

Scripture Passage
Then the Lord said, 'I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.' But Moses said to God, 'Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?' He said, 'I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain.'
But Moses said to God, 'If I come to the Israelites and say to them, "The God of your ancestors has sent me to you", and they ask me, "What is his name?" what shall I say to them?' God said to Moses, 'I am who I am.' He said further, 'Thus you shall say to the Israelites, "I am has sent me to you." ' God also said to Moses, 'Thus you shall say to the Israelites, "The Lord, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you": This is my name for ever, and this my title for all generations.
