Covenants are intentional.
Covenants are audacious.
Covenants are a promise
that can change our lives
together in this faith.
Together, we will be stronger.
Together, we will be wiser.
Together, we will be gentler.
We promise
to recognize our uniqueness
to treasure our faith
to honor our neighbors with
holiness.
We covenant to be committed to each other
to consider each as significant
to consider each as valuable.
We covenant
to be invitational
to be accepting
to speak grace-filled truth
to forgive each other
over and over again.
And yes,
to love.
Our Covenant stands firm.
It is our embodiment of faith in each other.
It is our blessing of each other.
It is our commitment to each other.
May we hold this community as a precious gift.
May we hold our relationships as gifts that transcend borders.
May we carry forth
the intention of our Covenant
the audacity of our Covenant
the promise of our Covenant
now and in years to come.
May it be so.
