Reflections from your Co-Pastors

October 8, 2020

Luke 1:72-75

God " has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors, and has remembered God's holy covenant, the oath God swore...that we might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before God all our days."

Covenant Is at the heart of how God has communicated with creation and humanity. Our God is a covenant maker and a covenant keeper.

On Sunday October 25th, our three communities will meet to worship together and also to enter into a relationship much like the relationship God has had with God's people for centuries. We will enter into a covenant relationship.

As we move into a long term partnership with our Lutheran and Episcopal sisters and

brothers, we continue to remain three unique congregations, yet one faith community. Our ministry partnership is grounded in the love of Christ, and God's mission has a church here at 301 East Stuart.

Please join us Sunday, October 25th, at 10:30 a.m. on zoom and participate in the beginning of a deeper, broader, more intimate relationship with God and our sister churches.

Even in these trying times, God continues to make things new.

Amen
