March 17 – Worship Focus

·         Theme: Lent 5 – Covenant Journeys: Living in Love

·         Scripture: Jeremiah 31:31-34, John 12:20-26

·         Speaker: Kevin Derksen

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 give thanks for a new covenant written in the heart, which moves us in love through death and into a new kind of 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.
