Seems the weather probably put off a few last night but the six of us who made it had a fascinating time as Simon unpacked the first nine plagues(!) and showed how they were often misunderstood.
1. They are clearly an act of mercy and grace - God could have just destroyed Egypt but the plagues were a sign and a call to repentance.
2. The pagues are an attack on the false (unreal) gods that Egypt worshipped - each plague dealing with one or several of Egypt's deities.
See http://www.padfield.com/acrobat/history/gods_of_egypt.pdf for more detail if you missed last night - it's worth a read!
More news about next week soon - watch this space.....
