The Importance of Covenants
In this sermon, Rev. Brock will explore the importance of principles in sustaining peace and harmony in any relationship system, whether that is a family, couple, congregation or group of any kind. His remarks come out of his decades of experience in working with congregations and families.
From your Interim Minister, Rev. Brock:
This Sunday there will be a few minor changes to the order of service. Among these will be that the joys and concerns will be handled in the first service as they have been in the second service; so if you have a joy or concern you wish to share with the congregation during the service, please contact our Worship Associate, Katherine Martin (kateloum

My sermon this week will be about the importance of covenants for church communities. Soon I will be sharing a draft of a “Covenant of Healthy Relationships” with the congregation that will be discussed by members and friends of the congregation and, hopefully at some point – perhaps the last Sunday of this month – be voted on and approved by the congregation. During the month of October, I will, in a variety of ways, be discussing the meaning, uses, and significance of congregations having common principles, widely and deeply affirmed by all, to guide our behavior, words, and deeds.
I look forward to walking with you on your journey of creating your future.
