Preparing for October 1

1 October, Pentecost 17

Story: Exodus 2:23-25; 3:10-15; 4:10-17 (pp. 49, 50, Pew Bible)

Message: The Reluctant Hero

Focus: Go Speak

Reflection: Read this week’s scripture when you get home. Moses was reluctant to follow God’s instructions: he felt ill-equipped for the task. Think of a time when you have felt unprepared. Pray to God, giving thanks that even when we are reluctant we

can find strength and help in unexpected places.
