Baptismal Covenant Preaching Series
A five-part preaching series for Pentecost
Your clergy decided that in light of the shutdown, the threat posed by the coronavirus, and the wounds of racism at the front of our minds once again, we would do well to remember what is most fundamental about how we promise to live out our faith as we follow Jesus.
This preaching series reflects on the promises we make at baptism in light of the Scriptures appointed for the day.
