But it is much more than a story of how the Jews were freed from Egypt.]]> 6daa03a0380d2443d1676c3253adb645 Gods Plan for His PeopleThe story of Exodus emphasizes that God’s people were freed SO THAT they might worship the Lord. We will explore how it can also point us to God’s plan for us. We too must be freed from slavery, the slavery of sin. We too are saved for worship! How will we worship Him with our lives?

He urges us to live lives that will impact a world in need. People who forget themselves long enough to empower someone else, to create success or meet the needs of others.  Deep down we all sense a desire to make a difference even in a small way… to touch a life, to do some good and make a ripple effect in this world!  Come join us for this 4-week series as we explore this topic as a church body.

Registration is Feburary 19th at the Information Center. Rehearsals begin February 26th ~ April 29th.
