ANNOUNCEMENTS OFFERTORY Sing to the Lord | Ken Medema (8:15AM) Joyful Sound Peace (from Liverpool Oratorio) | Paul McCartney Chancel Choir (9:30 & 11AM)

* PRAISE TO GOD | No. 95 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

* OFFERTORY PRAYER SCRIPTURE | Exodus 2:1-10 Patty Waller (8:15AM) Savanah Strever (9:30AM) Chad Bocock (11AM) A man from the family of Levi married a Levite woman.

The woman became pregnant and had a son. She saw there was something special about him and hid him.

She hid him for three months. When she couldn’t hide him any longer she got a little basket-boat made of papyrus, waterproofed it with tar and pitch, and placed the child in it. Then she set it afloat in the reeds at the edge of the Nile. The baby’s older sister found herself a vantage point a little way off and watched to see what would happen to him. Pharaoh’s daughter came down to the Nile to bathe; her maidens strolled on the bank.

She saw the basket-boat floating in the reeds and sent her maid to get it. She opened it and saw the child—a baby crying! Her heart went out to him. She said, “This must be one of the Hebrew babies.”

Then his sister was before her: “Do you want me to go and get a nursing mother from the Hebrews so she can nurse the baby for you?” Pharaoh’s daughter said, “Yes. Go.” The girl went and called the child’s mother.

Pharaoh’s daughter told her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me. I’ll pay you.” The woman took the child and nursed him. After the child was weaned, she presented him to Pharaoh’s daughter who adopted him as her son. She named him Moses (Pulled-Out), saying, “I pulled him out of the water.”
