God made a covenant with our ancestors in faith, Abram and Sarai,
and all generaons. “I give you life, life to the full, life renewed and
life reborn. All this I give you”.
God makes this covenant with us sll; we are God’s beloved; the descendants
of grace.
We affirm God’s mercy and grace, the blessing of God’s peace.

Goodness is stronger than evil; love is stronger than hate;
light is stronger than darkness; life is stronger than death.
Victory is ours, victory is ours through him who loved us.
