Offering: Unity Childcare


Welcome to Unity Church! May the LORD be with you! We gather together in this place to worship the One who is the Great I AM, the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Profession of Faith: This morning we celebrate with Peter Meyer as he joins Unity Church, and shares with us what God has done and is doing in his life. We thank God for Peter’s journey.

Tonight: Slavery, murder, a burning bush, deception, a bridegroom of blood, miracles, magic, plagues, a hardened heart, death, and escape - there is a lot in this part of Scripture that makes us say, “What’s up with that?” Check out the insert on some of tonight’s discussion questions and join us as we dig deeper into the Exodus.

EVENING WORSHIP

What’s Up With That #4: “Finding God’s Favor in all the Right Places”
Offering: CRWRC

Welcome to Unity Church! We celebrate today the favor of the Lord and His presence with us! We close out the book of Genesis this morning with some amazing stories of God’s truly unexpected favor. It is one thing to be called the people of God and quite another to find and receive His favor in ways totally catching us by surprise. Be challenged this morning to see your called status as a child of God and your favored status as a true follower of Jesus Christ!

Tonight we will explore the tension between what we sense is deserved favor of God versus unexpected favor from God. Sometimes our sense of justice and what is right gets confused because God shows up with favor in all the “wrong” places. Come explore the Word of God tonight to discover how it is that God shows up in all the “right” places with His favor and His grace.

This morning, we welcome Montana and Sarah Chamberlain to share about the work God is calling them to do.
