SUMMARY:Sunday\, August 16 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Where is God in all of this? This is the question we wrestle with as the saga of Genesis comes to an end. Joseph is reconciled with his brothers and with his father after years apart. The brothers had done a horrible thing\, selling Joseph into slavery\, never knowing if he was dead or alive. And when they were reunited Joseph had become one of incredible power – the power to kill them\, or to enslave them\, and yet Joseph forgave them and welcomed them. Rather than death\, Joseph saw life. God was working through him and his family for a purpose larger than they could imagine\, forcing life and newness through their actions. We cannot always see the bigger picture\, but underneath it all is God’s mercy and justice moving all things towards life and wholeness.

SUMMARY:Sunday\, August 23 Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Last week in worship we heard the ending of Joseph’s story. Through all the struggles and deathly experiences of Joseph’s life\, God had been with him – and in the end there was redemption and reconciliation. The Egyptian king\, the Pharaoh\, even respected and honored Joseph’s God. Now many years later a new king has risen who has no memory of Joseph’s God and Joseph’s descendants\, the Hebrew people who have become numerous in Egypt. The pharoah – forgetful of God\, and fearful of the “foreigners\,” forces them into slavery. When powerful political leaders become forgetful of God and fearful of people they create oppressive structures. And God raises up courageous leaders to bring about God’s liberation. In Exodus\, God raises up Moses; but first\, God empowers two Egyptian midwives who refuse to follow the king’s rule\, making way for God’s liberation. Here is the good news\, as with the midwives and with Moses\, God empowers us in the face of harm to bring God’s liberation.
