FROM THE DESK OF THE PRIEST-IN-CHARGE Dear Friends in Christ,
The lessons from the Old Testament are leading us through the early history of the Hebrew people. This period in their history is known as the age of the Patriarchs. These are the founding fathers of the Hebrew nation.
The three patriarchs are Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Last week we learned something about the first patriarch, Abraham. This week's lesson is the story of Isaac finding his wife.
While these readings may seem too old to be relevant for us today, the reverse is actually the case. Many of the problems in the Middle East today stem from the developing Arab and Hebrew people.
This week we will read how Isaac chose his wife very carefully so as to preserve the integrity of the Hebrew worship. Please read along with us in preparation for this journey to the present.
Please make note of the fact that the Monday bible study will be on Wednesday night due to the 4th of July holiday. Also please note that healing prayers are still being offered after the service. Peace,
GJK
