Eleventh Sunday After Pentecost - Rev. Nicole Stratchan

In this week's sermon, Rev. Nicole Stratchan explores the biblical story of Moses and the concept of 'Children of the Nile.' She reflects on themes of oppression, resilience, and the importance of community in overcoming challenges. Rev. Stratchan emphasizes the role of women in resisting Pharaoh's decrees and highlights the modern-day struggles faced by children in society. She calls for collective action to protect and uplift the next generation, reminding listeners that liberation is found in the community and that the Nile symbolizes hope and life.

This week's text - Exodus 1:22; 2:10:
22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every son that is born to the Hebrews you shall throw into the Nile, but you shall let every daughter live.”
10 When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses, “because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
