Sunday, March 17:  Fifth Sunday in Lent  

God promises Jeremiah that a “new covenant” will be made in the future: a covenant that will allow all the people to know God by heart. The church sees this promise fulfilled in Christ, who draws all people to himself when he is lifted up on the cross. Our baptismal covenant draws us to God’s heart through Christ and draws God’s love and truth into our hearts. We join together in worship, sharing in word, song, and meal, and leave strengthened to share God’s love with all the world.

Join us as we worship together this Sunday, to thank God in witness and prayer.
Worship service - 10:00 am - followed by fellowship
