Pastor Trudy's Message

Preaching Text: Jeremiah 31:31-34

Pastor Barb Ziah is going to reflect on the new covenant God makes with the people of God.  God does this in spite of the fact that people broke the covenant in the first place.  What an encouragement, that God’s faithfulness remains, even when ours falls short.  

Holy and Mighty God, thank you for your covenant promises to us. Help us to live faithfully in response to the promises. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
