Devotion of the Week: As we continue in our Lenten journey, we are reminded that we are sinful and in need of a Savior. In chapel on Wednesday, we sang Chief of Sinners Though I Be (LSB 611). Verse 1 states this:

We are all guilty because of our sins. Each one of us can claim to be "chief of sinners" because of our sinful condition. What a blessing we have to know and teach that we do not need to despair, because we have been redeemed through the death and resurrection of Jesus our Savior. We can be strong and courageous because of what He has done for us. The punishment for our sins was taken on by our Lord on the cross. Because of His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection, we are His forgiven and redeemed children and we will live forever with Him in perfection. May our connection to Him, give us hope, joy, and comfort this week.

Sunday Morning Bible Class: On Sunday, we will study “Fiery Directions.” Miraculously rescued through the waters of the Nile by Pharaoh’s daughter, Moses escapes the condemnation pronounced on the other Hebrew boys. Leaving behind his life of privilege, Moses flees to Midian, where he encounters the living God in a burning bush. Through this encounter, God directs and equips Moses to rescue His chosen people from their slavery in Egypt. Discuss how we are saved through the waters of Baptism. Everyone is welcome to join us at Bible Study. -Deaconess Shirley
