We were playing with our grandchildren the other day. Beau wanted to show me something on the other side of the yard. On our way over there, we had to stop and see this tree and that plant and I don’t know what all. We didn’t take the most direct route from one side to the other.  

In this week’s lesson, we learn that God did not take Israel by the most direct route when they left Egypt. There are times when it is good for us to take our time. Join us on Sunday as we study Exodus 13.17-22 together.  

In other news from the church office: 

David Breese died this morning. We will pass along more details of his funeral as they become available. Please pray for Faith and their family as they go through this time of grief.  

Dear friends, we are blessed,
