Worship with us this Sunday! |
|
Worship with us on Facebook Live (it will be uploaded to YouTube by early afternoon).
It’s the Second Sunday of Lent. Our focus scripture will be Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 when Abram and Sarai experience name changes and God promises to give then offspring, though they are old and have been said to be barren. God also commits to make their offspring carry on generation after generation. What does it take to build and sustain a covenantal relationship? What is it like to always be in the middle – as there are generations before us and after us?
