Welcoming Twins! We are thrilled to share the joyous news that Echo Nunley gave birth to twins on Tuesday, August 13 th , at St. Vincent Women’s Hospital. Though born approximately two months before their due date, these precious little ones are already showing incredible strength and resilience, thanks to the grace of God and the wonders of modern medicine. Roman, the baby boy, arrived at 6:13 PM, weighing 3 lb., 14 oz. Just a minute later, at 6:14 PM, his sister Eden made her entrance, weighing 2 lb., 12 oz. Both babies were placed in incubators immediately after birth, where they continue to grow and thrive. While the twins will remain in the hospital until they are strong enough to come home, we are grateful for the progress they’ve made and ask for your continued prayers. When the time comes for their baptism, Roman and Eden will become the youngest Presbyterians in town, a true blessing to our congregation. Please join us in praying for the Nunley family during this time

OT Lesson: Exodus 33:7-23 (NLT) It was Moses’ practice to take the Tent of Meeting and set it up some distance from the camp. Everyone who wanted to make a request of the Lord would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the Tent of Meeting, all the people would get up and stand in the entrances of their own tents. They would all watch Moses until he disappeared inside. As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at its entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses. When the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents. Inside the Tent of Meeting, the Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Afterward Moses would return to the camp, but the young man who assisted him, Joshua son of Nun, would remain behind in the Tent of Meeting. One day Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Take these people up to the Promised Land
