Dear Covenant family,
“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 could happen if God’s people came together
united, seeking his face? As you know, we are just 10 days away from doing that
as a church family. The promise in this verse is that God “will hear from
heaven”. Wow! This Sunday we will prepare our hearts for that as we look at the
life of the young prophet Samuel, who after some confusion about hearing God,
simply said; “Speak Lord – your servant is listening”. This Sunday it’s about:
“Hearing God’s Voice”.
“Together”:
Saturday, October 20 from 10:00
a.m. – 4:00 p.m. will be a church wide time of seeking God’s face
together.
Small Group &
Cantata
This Sunday, October 14th, both small groups will
meet after church because of the Cantata practice. Please bring a pot-luck lunch with you. We will eat together, have small group and
then you may join for the Cantata rehearsal. This first rehearsal will be an
overview of the cantata, so if you are still not sure if the cantata is
something for you, you can come, check it out to see if this is something you
are interested in and then make your decision on participating afterwards.
