We will hold our New Member Joining Ceremony today when we officially welcome those who have joined since our last ceremony. For the sermon, we will be reflecting on what it means to be in covenant relationship with each other and how that covenant should guide how we worship together, communicate, care for each other, confront each other, and work together for justice. Parker Palmer’s concept of “Obedience to Truth” will ground our thinking in how we plan to maintain these precious relationships.
