Reading The Heart
Dear Covenant friends and family,
How do you read your heart? In Jeremiah 31:33, God says, "I will write my law on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people."
Somehow we are to grow from having external controls imposed upon us to living from the inner image of God. There is no doubt some heart-reading involved here. Perhaps that is one of the primary tasks for us as followers of Jesus: learning to pay attention to the Spirit's guidance.
See you Sunday as we explore how that might look...
Grace and Peace,
Tracy

AGORA
-
Learning to Lean In.
Led by Jacqui Buschor.
Sundays, March 18 & 25, 9:45a, Lounge
It can feel good to help fill the needs of others. But what happens when we're called to love those stuck in impossible situations or those whose pain is prickly or reminds us too much of our own? Can we find the courage to be fully present when good sense would have us back away? Explore how leaning into our own discomforts and wounds better equips us to meet the pain of the world.

Wednesday Bible Studies Resume April 4, 1pm, 120 & 7pm, Lounge
Philippians. Led by
Katie Kinnison. Joy is the melody line of this letter from Paul. Yes, complexities arise, but Paul loves the people to whom he is writing, and his joy – his desire that they find joy – simply cannot be contained. Can we find the notes of joy flowing in and through our lives?
