Dear Covenant family,

 

Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. – Ps 84:10

 

I look forward to what God will do in the next two weeks through our guest speakers – Norman Kissinger with Young Faith in Christ on June 1^st and the Gideon’s on June 8^th. Our worship and Wednesday services will be directed by several members of our church family – we appreciate everyone serving! We look forward to be back with you as a family on Wednesday, June 11^th. We plan to leave this Thursday morning.
