February 18 – Worship Focus

·         Theme: Lent 1 – Covenant Journeys: A Covenant for All

·         Scripture: Genesis 9:8-17, Mark 1:9-15

·         Speaker: Kathy McCamis

Our Lenten worship for this season invites us into the story of God’s covenant relationship with God’s beloved creatures. From Genesis onwards, God makes covenants that get renewed and reshaped in different times and places, addressing changing contexts and the repeated failures of God’s people to live up to the relationship. However, we see in these covenants a single trajectory of God’s love for creation that takes its fullest shape in the person of Jesus Christ and the new covenant that gets established through his death and resurrection. We begin this week with the covenant made with all creation in the aftermath of the Great Flood. A covenant renewed in the baptism of Jesus as the waters offer not destruction but blessing and affirmation.

Please join us in-person on Sunday at 10:00 am, or online. To view online, go to the home page on our website www.bethelmennonite.ca and click on Bethel Live.
