Hagar, the maid of Abram's wife Sarai, found herself alone in the wilderness. Having been forced to leave her home, she was tired, lonely and afraid. Where would she go? What would she do? How would she care for her unborn child?
As Hagar rested by a spring, an angel of the Lord appeared to her, giving her guidance and hope for her own future and that of her child. Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her; 'Thou art a God who sees;' for she said, 'Have I even remained alive here after seeing him?' Therefore the well was called Beer-labai-roi [the well of the living one who sees me]. (Genesis 16:13-14)
The El Roi Class is a new Sunday morning Bible study where single parents are coming together to grow in faith, share common experiences, and provide loving support and encouragement for one another. Led by Corina Peterson, we meet in Room 221, East Building, and are beginning a study of Boundaries, a Bible-based approach to When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life. If you are interested, we'd love for you to join us at 9:00 a.m. next Sunday morning! (Questions? Call Gay Campbell, 315-5585.)
