2011 Lent Study Guide - University Presbyterian Church

There are many UPC small groups meeting during Lent. Take a moment to pray for other
groups—especially those in your neighborhood or connected to you in other ways.
Take time this week to pray and consider how God might use you in the lives of others. It won’t
be rescuing a baby in a basket from the Nile, but what might it be?
Looking Ahead
Next Week’s Passage: Exodus 3:1-15
Note: Our study will highlight various significant portions of the story of Exodus. You may benefit
from reading the whole book of Exodus during Lent.
Prayer Time
Lord God, the birth and preservation of Moses was remarkable and we are in awe of your work. We are
amazed at how you led his mother to take such a risk; how you put it on the heart of Pharaoh’s daughter to
have compassion upon Moses; and how you led Moses to be raised in Pharaoh’s household. Help us to be more
aware of your work in our own lives and in the lives of others so that we may join you in your renewing and
redeeming work in this world. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Important Prayer Note: Over the next several weeks, you may want to pray for one another and each
other’s prayer requests. Remember that your small group prayer times should be confidential. You
may want to have a group member take brief notes of these prayers so you can follow up each session.
