Sabbath as Gift (Exodus 16:11-30)- Noemi Vega Quiñones

Guest Preacher, Noemi Vega Quiñones, continues our Fall series by preaching from Exodus 16:11-30 about God's vision for Sabbath- a vision that is rooted in intimate knowing and trust. How might the "elder story" presented in Exodus 16 invite us into Yahweh's vision for collective liberation and flourishing, centered in rest? And how does that vision connect to the Indigenous vision of buen vivir, reminding us that collective care is not just for humans but for the entire community of creation? ------ GUEST PREACHER BIO: Noemi Vega Quiñones was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and migrated to the United States when she was five with her mother and two younger siblings. She is a Mustang Fellow at Southern Methodist University, an adjunct professor at Fresno Pacific Biblical Seminary, and is currently conducting her field research in the Central Coast of California where she grew up. Noemi hopes to contribute to buen vivir en conjunto with her communities.
