Migration in the Bible: Praying with People on the Move

Wednesdays, September 22, 29, October 6, 13, 20, 27, 7 – 8 p.m

Abraham and Sarah are called by God to move to a foreign land seeking a promise. Naomi and her family flee famine in their native land to start a new life in Moab. Joseph and Mary flee Israel to protect their child. The Bible is filled with stories of people on the move, which is helpful in considering the plights of people today who flee their homeland and seek a better life.These sessions will include stories of migration in Scripture, comparing them to the situation of migrants today.

$30 for the six-week series. Register by Tuesday, September 21 for the Zoom link.
