Ten Commandments - Honoring Our Connections
Dear Covenant friends and family,
A significant chunk of the Ten Commandments has to do with our connections and our commitments: honoring where we came from, honoring our word, seeing how our simple, everyday actions can have far-reaching effects. I am humbled anew as I study these ancient words and reconsidering how we might live them out in our world today.
Again, our goal is not to stab the air with accusing fingers, but to help us all awaken to some basic cause-and-effect life issues, and to offer encouragement for this "radical, counter-cultural" journey to which we are called as followers of the God of Jesus Christ.
Jason Keefer is our organist at 11:00, Nan Davidson is our pianist at 8:30, and a special bell sextet will be playing at both of those services. (We'll see what our courtyard birds make of that!)
Grace and peace,
Tracy

“In a maze we lose ourselves, in a labyrinth we find ourselves.”
We are planning to build our own outdoor labyrinth, a maze-like pathway for walking meditation and prayer, on the southeast side of the church building. It would welcome neighbors and church folks alike with protective landscaping and benches: a quiet little haven of prayer available to everyone.
Learn more about how you can purchase a personalized, etched paving brick and pay with PayPal on our
web site
. See samples in the church hall. Order forms are also on the welcome table in the hall. Help make this a gift to our community.
