Stories from the Vigil: Crossing the Red Sea

8:00 AM

Part of what we do during the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday is to re-tell the old stories of faith that assure us of God's ongoing faithfulness from creation all the way through resurrection. For the rest of this week, we will focus on six of those stories told at the Vigil as a reminder that the empty tomb is the ultimate expression of promise and salvation from a God who has yet been promising and saving throughout all of history.

Our fourth story was the story of the Crossing of the Red Sea.
