Actually, God's covenant with Noah was a much more than a covenant only with Noah-- a whole lot more of His creation found its way into the covenant that God made that day on the finally dry mountainside. When we think of Noah, our minds usually go straight away to the animal-packed ship and a long voyage. Our thoughts on this particular Sunday, the first in a Lenten journey titled "The Covenant and the Cross", turned instead to the Royal Grant that God made with Noah and all of creation. Take a look at the Scripture for the day and join us, won't you?
