Welcome to Elim on this the third Sunday in Lent. Speaking of “threes” - The third covenant in this year’s Lenten readings is the central one of Israel’s history: the gift of the law to those God freed from slavery. The commandments begin with the statement that because God alone has freed us from the powers that oppressed us, we are to let nothing else claim first place in our lives. When Jesus throws the merchants out of the temple, he is defending the worship of God alone and rejecting the ways commerce and profit-making can become our gods. The Ten Commandments are essential to our baptismal call: centered first in God’s liberating love, we strive to live out justice and mercy in our communities and the world.

We look forward to seeing you in person starting in two weeks! Elim’s doors open to Covid-Safe in-person worship on March 21st. We’ll still be online via live stream and recordings - more ways to engage with all your Elim friends!
