Theme Scripture: Deuteronomy 34: 10 Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.

The story of the Exodus begins with an atmosphere of fear as the roller-coaster ride of the people of Israel takes twists and turns through the cities of Egypt, across uncrossable seas, through an encounter with God on the Mountain, to the edge of the Promised Land, back into the wilderness and finally to the place where they are ready to live as God’s people. The Exodus has special meaning for us in 2020 as we face as a world the coronavirus and the twists and turns that emerge as we continue to figure out how to live in a new reality, and walking in Moses’ footsteps helps us understand how God is at work in the lives of God’s people even during wilderness times.
