Our own burning bush!

study of one of the most important books in the Bible — Exodus. In fact, this book is so full of life that we will study it for a good portion of the year, right up until spring when we culminate the year with our semi-annual puppet show with an epic retelling of the story of Moses and the journey to the Promised Land!
From babies in baskets to burning bushes, from magic staffs to plagues of frogs, lice and hail, from passing over to crossing over, and to the long march toward the Promised Land and the Ten Commandments, the Book of Exodus is a story of passion, faith and perseverence. We will engage the students in many of the nuances, and lead them on a journey of discovery and understanding.
This year we will be meeting separately with our older, middle school aged students. It is important to us, and we expect to you, to keep the students engaged through their confirmation year. To this end, we will be expanding our reach to them, and using Exodus as a way to engage them in a fruitful and interesting conversation.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday, and through the year, and hope you will join us on this long journey of hope and understanding.
