TODD'S TAKE
Good morning and welcome to our worship. It is good to have everyone with us in person today and we are glad to have those of you who are joining us online. Especially glad to have our guests with us today.
This morning we will continue our journey through the book of Exodus. Last week we left off with Moses and Aaron meeting with the Israelite Elders to discuss the plan God had laid out for Moses to liberate His people. They all seem raring to go, but today we will see that Pharoah is not as accepting of the plan. This hardness of Pharoah’s heart will unleash the full power of God demonstrated through a series of devastating plagues. Today we will look at chapters 5 through 10.
Next Sunday is Easter, a great opportunity to invite a friend to worship with us. We are expecting a larger crowd, so we ask that you make room in your pews for additional guests and be sure to welcome any new faces you see.
Glad you’re here!
Our Grace Offering is NEXT SUNDAY—April 17.
Our Grace Offering financial goal is $154,200, all of which will go towards funding many of the outreach ministries of the Park Avenue Church, both locally and globally. This represents almost 8 times the amount of our regular weekly budget, so we ask that you give generously.
For more information on all our outreach efforts funded by Grace Offering go to pacoc.net/go.
Today we welcome Daisy’s Little Red Wagon. It’s always a delight to see our children participating in the gift of giving
