"A covenantal relationship emphasizes walking together in faith, welcoming all people, and affirming God’s inclusive love, making us a diverse, promise-keeping, spiritual community centered by Jesus and the spirit," Heidi said in this morning's message.

"This focuses on a personal journey with God, belonging to a global church and living out Christ’s love. "​This is an act of faith, a solemn promise to God. In short, we always have each other’s back."
