Holy Promise People...In the Beginning

Covenants are important and life giving moments in our lives as Christians.  They are moments of promise and faith.  They are moments of action and attention.  They  are important moments that have a unique beginning.

These promises are not chores to check off or dates circled on a calendar; they are holy promises that begin with God.  They all begin
with God choosing us and choosing to be in a relationship with us.  In return we are loved, claimed, and wanted.  This gives us the freedom to respond with truth, kindness, caring, and service to others. We learn about truth when we read God's book of hope and good news.  We care for God's people both our friends, neighbors and ourselves by participating in  Sunday School, Choir School, or VBS. We serve others by living as a people of promise.

How do we live as  promise people?  We do it by remembering that we are HOLY PROMISE People  and lived the truth that so is our neighbor.  This means that we treat everyone the way we would like to be treated. Our actions may fall short, because we are only human, but the holy promises aren't! A Holy Promise cannot be broken, and grace means we will not be forsaken. This means that we are still God's people even when we forget that our neighbor is, too.  This winter Second Church is looking at the Bible Basics of a "Life Lived in God."  On Wednesday nights, February 15-April 12, from 6:30 - 7:30 pm children are invited to hear and to see, to touch and to know Holy Promises in our Bible.   Join Pastor Caroline Dennis and Kat Barden to joyfully and playfully remember that we are God's Holy Promise People. We will start at the beginning...and we know it will be "good."
