First Sunday in Lent



We will have a series during Lent about "Covenants." We will look at the covenants from Noah to Abram to Moses, to Jeremiah and the place Jesus is as the New Covenant. A covenant in the bible is an agreement between God and humans.

On Sunday, we will begin with the sermon: "God's Covenant with Noah." The rainbow to the left was a sign to remind God of the promise not to flood the earth again. You may read about this story from Genesis 9:8-17. Pastor Larry will lead us to see how God's grace was at work and how it can help us during this time of Lent.

We had a wonderful Ash Wednesday service and Pastor Arlin gave us some guidance on what to do during Lent to prepare yourself for the good news of Easter. He encouraged us to: Prayer, Bible Study, devotional reading, fasting, etc. One of the things on the list is worship. You will want to attend worship each Sunday of Lent and allow this series on covenants to help you grow spiritually.

Since it is the first Sunday of the month, we will be celebrating Holy Communion. This service helps us to remember the "new covenant".

Please be in prayer for our services and bring friends with you.
