Pulpit Series: Journey to Glory—Lessons from Exodus

We en-

courage Frankelites to take up a booklet of 20 tickets ($20 per ticket) to help raise funds or give generously to this work of God which our church is led to partner in. Our church has been assigned 100 booklets. (Tax exemptions available. Details in donation tickets.)

Upcoming Grow at Noon events!! Karimun mission trip (Nov 17-19) G@N camp (Dec 19-22) Christmas Carolling (practices on Sunday afternoons Oct, Nov, Dec) Please approach the G@N leaders if you are interested to serve/participate in these events or to open your homes for the carollers!

The exodus is the one main event that Israel is always called to recall when they try to relate to who God is, much like our salvation on the cross. Studying how God’s hand moved the events that led to the exodus and His reasons/motivations for doing so reveal much about His character. It brings an even greater revelation when we relate those same motiva-tions to how He calls us into salvation and guides us back to the cross. Exodus is a call from slavery into worship, for the Jews, and even more so for his children.

Baptism and Membership Class (15 Oct, 22 Oct, 29 Oct, 5 Nov) with Baptism on 26 Nov Baptism is more than a symbolic act or tradition. It has tremendous spiritual significance as a public proclamation

This will be followed by an interview with church leaders. Kindly note that no make-up lesson will be arranged.
