Welcome
In today’s story, two of God’s people receive new names: Abram becomes Abraham, and Sarai becomes Sarah. God changes their names as part of a covenant, or promise. The covenant changes their lives, and God changes their names. We are part of this covenant too.
Covenant is a big word and may be new to some of us. Covenant means “promise.” God makes promises to us because we are God’s family
