Yesterday we began our ReThink Church Sermon Series by focusing on Covenant. Many re-affirmed their baptismal covenant at each of the worship services. Five persons were baptized during the services. In conjunction, several Sunday School Class participated in a study to focus on God's covenantal relationship that is open to all.
We looked specifically at God's covenant with Abram and explored what it means to be people of a covenant today. We discussed the following questions: How are we participants in covenant with God today? How can we bring others into covenant with God? Where do you think God is calling us as a church?
To continue the discussion please feel free to post your responses or any questions you continue to wrestle with.

ReThink Church Blogs
Greetings!
We're glad that you've visited our blog! The pastors of Douglasville First United Methodist Church hope that this will become a forum for discussion, a place to share church wide devotions throughout the year and a remote place to connect outside the walls of the church building.
We'll be starting out by focusing on our mission to ReThink Church then we will focus on a church wide lent devotion.
Scott, Max and Elizabeth will rotate posting to the blog, and we will be inviting others to join as 'guest bloggers' as the devotions get underway.
Please feel free to comment, ask questions and explore this venue as we grow together and in our understanding of God. We look forward to learning and sharing with all of you!
grace and peace,
elizabeth
