Dear Covenant family,

 

‘Jesus told her: Go, call your husband and come back. I have no husband, she replied’ John 4:16,17

 

Have you ever struggled with telling someone you love the truth? What can and can’t you say…How do you say it? It can be tough! This Sunday we’ll study ‘telling the truth’ in Chapter 23 of The Story by looking how Christ’s truth telling transformed a Samaritan woman. We will begin our time in the Word however with giving you an opportunity to share about last Sunday’s ‘Blank Paper’ challenge: Is there something in your Bible/Story reading this week that gave you a new or fresh revelation of who Jesus is for you?

 

I look forward to this Friday and Saturday for our church wide weekend ‘together’. Friday Night we will start by preparing our hearts to meet Him, and we hope to continue this on Saturday as we look toward our future together. Please join us in this important weekend for our church. Prayer is key and strategic – always!
