Dear Covenant family,

 

‘that we might be for the praise of His Glory’ – Eph 1: 7,8

 

I don’t know if you had a chance to watch the rant of Seattle Seahawks Football Player Sherman last week. If you haven’t, suffice it to say that most people thought he was a little too full of himself. Not pretty! Not a noise you and I would want to make.

 

Yet God does want us to make some noise. It’s a different noise and on a tune this world doesn’t know. But I promise you that once you catch the melody, you don’t just want to sing it – you’ll want to shout it from the mountain tops. God wants you to be incredibly secure! Not just in your value (as we saw in #1), your failures (#2) but also in all that you do – in how you sing your life’s song! Unashamed! Pointing Up! Join us this Sunday as we discuss: ‘So Long Selfishness’- Mini Series: ”Build your House on the Rock’ (Ephesians 1:6-10)

 

This Sunday we will also install John Pierce as elder and Byron & Crystal Huebschen and Linda Davis as Deacons.

 

Prayer Meeting at the Slater’s next Wednesday instead of at CBC

In order to facilitate traveling situations for all, we are holding the weekly prayer meeting this Wednesday at the home of Dick & Gwen Slater at 1.30 p.m. instead. We are in the process of reviewing the long term time and location of the prayer meeting during this time, and will keep you informed on how things develop.
