This Week's Message

 "Mother's Day: A Mother's Pay" ~ Exodus 1 & 2

We will look at Jacobed, the mother of Moses, and see what she faced in being a mother.  We will see some of the Godly traits of her life, look at her task and then look at the "pay" she received from being a mother.  We will see how relevant this is for all the mothers who are here today.
