COVENANT SUNDAY

Today is Covenant Sunday at Cap. We are going to ask you to freely and voluntarily participate in making covenant with us. Our Capchurch covenant is value laden. The values behind the covenant express our common experience of being called by God; the content of our faith—what we believe about the triune God from the Bible; who we are as a community; our sense of purpose, mission; And our unique history with God.

Behind our covenant are other values—values that define who we are as a community of faith and how we will treat one another; values that the shape and character of church life. All of our ministries and programs; and our pastoral posture when we meet with you for coffee arise out of these values. By affirming these values we as leaders are writing Cap’s history in advance. Covenant is the highest form of relational commitment. It writes the future in advance by choosing to do good to someone despite what may come. When you define your relationships by covenant, they are defined by commitment, love, and acceptance and not by performance. Let’s make covenant!
