October 5-6, 2024
WE WORSHIP TOGETHER
Worship Times: Saturday at 5:30pm and Sunday at 10:30 am
This Week’s Bible Readings: Exodus 32:1-4, Psalm 119:33-40, Luke 18:1-8
This Weekend: “Golden Calf”
Join us for worship… at the direction of Moses' brother, Aaron, the Israelites turn over their gold to create a new god while Moses is up on the mountain. When God realizes what is going on in Moses' absence, God gets angry and decides to set God's wrath upon them. But Moses reminds God of words that were said earlier, and God changes God's mind.
