Welcome to Sunday Online at Encounter Vineyard this weekend and thank you for joining us for our celebration today.

For the past few weeks, we have found ourselves in the Season of Lent where we’ve been, daily and weekend by weekend, working our way through Mark’s Gospel in a series called Sovereign.

We have been reflecting on how Jesus exchanged His royal robes for the garments of a slave and how He came not to be served but to serve. How He sought out the least and the lost and chose humility over honour.

This weekend Karen is taking us further in our Lenten series as she looks at the theme of our ‘Friendship with God.’

We pray that you are able to enjoy the experience of being part of our extended community and that you can encounter God’s transformative presence as we worship together and seek His face.
