Typically, Labor Day marks the end of the summer and the beginning of fall programming. Last Sunday, we had a brief assembly that highlighted many of the Sunday School classes that are offered each Sunday morning at 10:00. If you are not a part of a Sunday School class, I encourage you to consider joining one. There are many options available with many different formats.

Small group gatherings have great benefits for our spiritual lives. The lessons help us grow deeper in our knowledge about God. The opportunity to ask questions and share life experiences enriches our understanding of who God is and how God acts in the world. A small group also allows us to connect more deeply with others, which is essential to remaining strong in our discipleship. Life is too hard to go it alone.

For worship this week, we will delve into Moses’ experience of the burning bush. The story is found in Exodus 3:1-6. We are told that Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law. He was doing an ordinary job in a very ordinary place (the wilderness). Yet, he experiences the very presence of God. One component of our theology is that God is omnipresent, that God is everywhere. Yet, we do not always sense God’s presence. How many times do we miss the divine presence, not because God is absent, but because we fail to perceive the nearness of God? Come and join us this Sunday as we discover important lessons from Moses’ encounter of God in the burning bush.
