Dear friends at CBC,
I look very much forward to spending time in prayer and fasting with you this weekend. When we look at 2012, where else would we want to be than at the feet of the Savior? What other place is there to go? May He lead us together, as a team, in all that He has for us at Covenant Bible Church. And for your convenience I have listed the details of our time below.
For this Sunday: Have you ever wondered why life’s trials seem to follow close encounters with God almost immediately? You are encouraged with something from God, and then it seems like something happens that is designed to ‘snuff it out’ almost immediately. Christ’s life was no different. After God showed incredible favor on Christ with his baptism, visible words of affirmation and the filling with the Sprit, he was ‘led into the wilderness’. Come this Sunday to find out why these obstacles aren’t only normal, but necessary for us to gain a perspective of what He wants to do in and through us.
Details: ‘Together’ - Time of seeking God as a church body.
“If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place” – 2 Chronicles 7:14, 15.
Friday, January 20, 6.30 – 8.30 p.m.
Saturday, January 21, 10.00 a.m. - 4.00 p.m.
We will have prayer, but no Bible Study on Wednesday Jan 25 & Feb 1. There will also be no Sunday School or Small Group on Sunday January 29nd.
We encourage you to fast for this time on Friday, by choosing your own form of fasting. A sandwich lunch will be ordered from the (Mennonite) ‘Ole Time Pantry’ or you may bring your own bag lunch..
Alpha Course to start Feb 8th
Pray! Invite - Invitations available at church.
A special offering will be held on Sunday, January 29 to help cover the cost of meals. Goal: Raise between $1,000 and 1,500.
Missions:
Dana, a friend of CBC needs 20 hours practice driving her car. She is a resident of St. Francois Manor. You would be providing the vehicle and fuel and your time. Idea: when you have errands to run, you could allow her to drive you. Call Naomi at 756 0182/747 6882 or Dana at 701 0458 to sign up.
Prayer & Praise Requests:
Prayer & Praise: Wanda Pruett – thankful for good hip surgery recovery and all the help received.

Dear friends at CBC,
“If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place” – 2 Chronicles 7:14, 15.
What an excellent invitation for us to come together and pray! This promise is given to Solomon after the dedication of the temple and emphasizes God’s faithfulness – what He will do – when his people come to pray in the temple. The same God waits for us this weekend. I hope to see you! I would encourage everyone to be there for the entire time as much as possible, but if your schedule is busy, please join us for part of it. You are encouraged to fast on Friday. I’m encouraged by those that have already begun to fast. This Sunday’s message will build on our weekend together. Can’t wait to see what God will do. Look forward to it!

Dear friends at CBC,
This Sunday we will continue our series ‘Together’ by looking at ‘together we receive’, as we prepare for our church wide time of seeking God on January 20 & 21. Byron, who just had a cochlear implant activated for his ear, has given me permission to share this email he sent me earlier this week:
I had an absolutely awesome time at church yesterday. From the time I walked into church, I was able to carry on conversations with several people. The most exciting part came during worship. For the first time, I could hear the harmonious voices of our church family. Thought I was in the midst of a choir. I could hear all 3 instruments, your guitar was awesome, and Kari on the tambourine, I could hear it like never before. I was in tears, and it was an absolutely life altering worship experience for me. Your sermon, I usually get about 35%. Yesterday, I heard and understood every word. It blew me away. I so much appreciate all the support and encouragement from everyone. Life can only get sweeter. I know I have been given an awesome gift, and I am forever grateful to my Loving God for His graciousness. It is truly Amazing Grace.
May we continue to receive together this coming Sunday. Thanking God for His Goodness,
Marco

Dear friends at CBC,
“Together” can be synonymous with unstoppable. The world says that happens because you now have a common goal. Although there is a truth to that, the Bible speaks about a much greater impact. It speaks of being united with one another in Christ. Unity then becomes a place to stand together in the Presence of the Almighty God and watch Him work. Together becomes a key to unlock heaven’s riches. The book of Acts shows us lots of examples of this. This Sunday we will continue our series ‘Together’ as we prepare for our church wide time of seeking God January 20 &21, by looking at ‘together we stand’
