How Do You Know What You Know?
Dear Covenant Friends & Family,
So much seems to depend on what we believe, and yet belief is much more than intellectually subscribing to this tenet or that. If we say, "God loves you," or "In Jesus Christ we are forgiven," what difference does that make in our lives? How do we really
know
that we are loved? How do we really
know
we are forgiven? Or perhaps the Easter question might be, "How do you know what you know?"
Do you need tangible proof? Someone's trustworthy word? Your own experience?
This matters because it shapes our very living.
This Sunday at
Gathering
, we will tease out some of our assumptions and criteria for what we deem to be true. Perhaps we will surprise ourselves...
Grace and peace,
Tracy

More Easter Celebration & Children’s Egg Hunt
Sun., April 8, 10am
Good news: Easter is a season, not just one day. We’ll have a wonderful morning celebrating Jesus continuing to be with us after the resurrection. Children start at the Gathering service at 10am and then head outside (or to the education wing if the weather is bad) for our Easter egg hunt. Bring empty baskets and join in the fun as we keep celebrating God’s unstoppable love.
