From Pastor Lauren:
We have been fortifying ourselves these weeks by doing some extra time in Exodus, for our Sunday sermons. And each Wednesday we pause, like tonight 10/7, @ Lectio Divina @ 6 pm, to be online for 20 minutes to reflect on the text coming up for Sunday. So tonight it will be Exodus 32: 1-14 for Sunday 10/11.
Also below is a link to spend 6 minutes on a fresh take on the part that comes a little beforehand in Exodus 20: including the ‘ten commandments’. What if we consider these in times of strife, not as much for personal thou-shall-not lists, but agreements to hold community up, in times in need of integrity, or direction, or clear action? These passages may be background to offer insight for how God’s people might worship, that can also aid our understanding this week of the antics in the story of God’s people worshipping a golden calf. Happy further study from us & the Pacific Northwest Conference UCC:
