During the season of Lent, our worship services will invite us to
explore the theme of covenant throughout scripture. Each Sunday,
the sermon will focus on one aspect of God’s covenant relationship with
humanity. We will begin with God’s first covenant, made with
Noah. We will walk along with the people of Israel as they
experience this new covenant relationship with God. Throughout
the season, we will be reaching toward Easter, when God’s covenant is
fulfilled through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I hope you will make a commitment to join us in our exploration of how
God has been at work throughout the history of humanity and as we look
at how God continues to be at work in our own lives.
A covenant is more than a simple promise. It is God’s enduring
gift to creation. Throughout our history, people have neglected
their covenant with God. Yet, God’s covenant remains because
God’s grace and faithfulness endures. I invite you to join us as
we open our hearts and minds to hear God’s covenant still present among
and within the community of faith that is New Concord Presbyterian
Church. In Christ, Emily Schlaman Larsen
