Dear Covenant family,
‘for unto us a child
is born, unto us a son is given!’ – Isaiah 9:6
Hope you have enjoyed the white stuff last weekend. But after
being snowed in last week, I look forward to see you this Sunday for our Family
Christmas Service with puppets, song and Christmas Great News Story. Invite your
friends and family!
Please note that:
Like last year, we will NOT have Sunday School in order to
give our children the chance to use the sanctuary to set up and get ready.
A potluck lunch will take place immediately following the
service. Please bring a dish to share; we’re thinking soup and sandwiches and
treats/sweets.
The white elephant gift exchange will start right after
lunch. Here is how you participate: Find something in your house (no trash
please) that you no longer need, but that could be of great help, use or cause
for a good laugh for someone else. Wrap your gift and bring it with you on
Sunday. After you have opened your gift, you may ‘trade it in’ with anyone else
who has already received his/her gift. Lots of fun!
Snow Adjustments….
We are having church tonight and plan so for tomorrow night
as well. The parking lot has been cleared from most of the snow, and valet
parking is available.
The Growth Group Facilitator Meeting has been rescheduled
for Sunday, Dec. 22.
This Thursday –
Vision Meeting
Coming up this Thursday: our next visionary meeting. We will
continue the process that we started during our weekend of prayer and fasting –
seeking God’s direction and blueprint for our church. We plan to wrap up our
discussion about our ‘Kingdom Concept’ and look at the area’s of strategy and
measuring results.
