SCRIPTURE LESSON: Exodus 3:1-6 Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight, and see why the bush is not burned up. When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then he said, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground”. He said further, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Liturgist: The word of God, for the people of God. People: Thanks be to God.

[email protected] BOARD OF TRUSTEES ANNOUNCEMENT Your Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that agreements have been reached with several outside groups and congregations to rent space in our North Wing. Under the agreed arrangements, The Pathways of Hope Homeless program currently operating in our basement will remain there, but will consolidate into a smaller footprint in the East end of that floor. The basement will be split into two areas with a dividing wall and In the Vine Anglican church will occupy the West end of that space. The Grace Evangelical Free Church of La Mirada will rent the entire first floor of the North wing. The Door and Living Faith churches, who are also current tenants, will occupy most of the second floor. Final arrangements are still in process. Reconstruction of certain walls within the North Wing will commence shortly, with the overall goal being to have all space ready to occupy this fall. If you desire additional information about the arrangements, there is an information sheet available in the church office. Notes from Carol Smith’s daughter . . .
