March 10 – Worship Focus

Note time change to Daylight Savings Time: “Spring forward.”

·         Theme: Lent 4 – Covenant Journeys: Living in Spirit

·         Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11-20, John 3:1-16

·         Speaker: Valerie Alipova

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. But 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. This week we attend to the blowing of the Spirit in Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, as an invitation to “choose life.”

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.
