This week we walk with Jacob out of the ford of the Jabbok River as he comes face to face with his brother and his army. The story has always reminded me of one of Jesus’ most famous parables. Watch or read and see if you agree.

As we continue to follow the story of Jacob, this week we’ll find him at a fork in the road—or, more accurately, a ford in the river. Danger lies both behind and before him and he spends a night stuck there, in the ford of the Jabbok River (pictured here). He is blocked from turning back and in front of him is an army of 400 men with a score to settle. What does he do? Why should you care?

The day will consist of gentle yoga, chair yoga, and yoga nidra where we will meditate on God’s Word through lecto divina.”
Learn more and register online, HERE. If you’d like to carpool, contact Bernadette.

For the first three weeks of September, we’re going to be following the story of Abraham’s grandson, Jacob, in the book of Genesis. We’re going to jump over his life as a child and look at the process of his adult calling and transformation. It begins with a dream about a ladder to heaven.
