Reflecting God to the World

Thanks!
Thanks to all the women who stayed after church last Sunday and signed up for positions for Women's Sunday. It looks like every position is filled. Way to go!
Bible Reading
This week's Old Testament reading (Exod. 27-39) starts with more of the instructions for the tabernacle items and ends with them making the tabernacle items. But there are some interesting things in between.
After the description of the items, we see the anointing service of Aaron and his sons, as well as the daily sacrifices, the burning of the incense, and the collection of the Lord's money.. Notice in chapter 30 that we see where frankincense and myrrh are used. After Moses finishes receiving the Law, we see Aaron promoting the golden calf and then lying about it. God's response – He'll wipe them out. Moses intercedes and the people consume the golden calf ashes. Moses meets with the Lord again and the people renew their dedication to the Lord. A little while later, Moses rounds up the workers and the construction of the tabernacle and the items for it are underway.
A lot to learn in these passages. Don't get hung up on some of the lengthier descriptions. You can continue to stay on top of this reading.
