The Message this Week

Preaching Text: Exodus 2:23-25; 3:10-15; 4:10-17

Moses at the burning bush. People lament that God doesn’t get their attention by speaking to them through a burning bush. Let me propose that the kind of call you receive is related to the nature of what you are being asked to do. A burning bush is necessary for Moses to leave his life behind, go back to a place that holds all kinds of difficult memories and the reality that he may not be safe there, being that his last act before leaving was killing an Egyptian. Once he gets there he will convince the Pharaoh to let the Hebrew people go and then to lead them to the promised land.  I think that merits a really clear and dramatic sign. Personally, I’m fine not having God speak to me in a burning bush, but I do have to pay attention for signs of God’s work and figure out how to join it.

Holy and mighty God, help us to trust that we are called to serve You and to stay alert for signs of Your work that we can join. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Real questions from real people to learn more about faith.

Why do we have an annual meeting?

The GLC annual congregational meeting will take place next Sunday, October 5 immediately following the 10:30AM worship service. Child care will be provided. We need a quorum of approximately 70 people to approve the budget. Please contact Kraig Mickelsen, Council President, if you have any questions.

• Equip and inspire us that we might move past our doubts and go boldly forth for the sake of your gospel.
• Teach us to manage the forests you created with love and attention, that they might be preserved for the good of all.
• Call into leadership those who will put into action your work of justice and equity for all people. Engage each of us in supporting our leaders as they serve us.
• Visit us with your transformative spirit, and surround with your presence those whom we lift up before you, especially Mabel Volkema, Niece of Emily and Matt Abrahamson, Carrie, daughter of Carol Wurtz, and Terry Klein
• Bring us to reconciliation with each other and with all your creation.
• Make us worthy to share the company of your servants who have gone before us, and bring us all at length to your eternal kingdom.

We lift all these prayers, and those of our hearts, to your loving care, O God. Receive them and restore our hope in your promises. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

We surround with our prayers the family of Rainer Weigel, father of Holly Fels, who died last Friday, September 19.
