Religion II Project: The Meaning of Covenant in the Bible

The sophomore class was studying about what an ancient covenant is. In the Bible there are many examples of Covenant Promises from God. Understanding Biblical Covenants is a way to also understand the redemptive plan of God.

In this project, sophomores are to create their own covenants or promises through pictures and phrases as they work through understanding God's Biblical Covenants.
