Joseph was down and out. His brothers wanted to kill him, instead they sold him into slavery. He was in a foreign land as a slave alone. Then he was wrongly accused and thrown into jail. Things were bad. We know that God used Joseph to save the people from the famine. Joseph forgave his brothers and reunited his family. What a wonderful God who works all things for good.

Make time to worship our wonderful God. There is still time to join us for Bible Study and Sunday School this Sunday at 9:30. This week in Bible Study we will be learning about Loud Tables in a spiritually vibrant household. Bible Study in the church basement and Sunday School is in the school commons.

I am leading the children's message at Zion this weekend and I had a few first graders help me with some of the pictures :)

In HIM,

Amy Bernhardt
