Dear Covenant family,

 

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. One of my highlights was holding Ruby Grace Pierce in my hands this morning with a very thankful Pierce family. Then I enjoyed watching our kids have fun with a water hose in the back yard later this afternoon. Thank God for summer!

 

The van Raalten family is taking a summer trip to Floriday, leaving Tuesday May 28 and returning in time for our June 9^th service. This email is for the next two weeks. This Sunday, June 2, Gary Pruett will be speaking. We expect to be back with you Sunday, June 9^th as Young Faith in Christ’s new executive Director Norm Kissinger will share with us.

 

Remember: NO Sunday School in June

 

Reminder: If you have someone in your family or immediate family who has served in the armed forces, please submit a picture with their name written on the back of it and give it to Gary or Wanda Pruett so we can remember them in our patriotic service on July 7^th.
