"So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, 'In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?" Exodus 16:6-7
At the evening service, we looked at the account in Exodus when God provided manna and quail and were reminded that God provides for us and were encouraged to consider our approach to the food we buy and how we can bring about God's justice through this
