Dear Covenant family,
‘Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the
church and gave himself up for her’ Ephesians 5:25
A word for all the men: Don’t you wish you knew how to
understand and appropriately love a woman? Whether in a marriage or in life in
general: this seems to be one of the great mysteries in life…… The apostle Paul
actually admits that in Ephesians: ‘this is a great mystery’. In our previous message in our series
‘Radical Love – Radical Lives’ we talked how women can love men. This Sunday we
will unravel some of that mystery by giving you four ways to love a woman, or
if you are a woman: four ways to be loved – whether in marriage or life in
general.
Byron & Crystal Huebschen will continue to teach Sunday
School this Sunday.
Birthday Party Bryan Vollertsen
Just as in previous years we will be celebrating Bryan
Vollertsen’s birthday party by enjoying the refreshing Black River ,
immediately following the service. If you are interested in going, please
contact Steve Vollertsen, Al Gainer or Marco van Raalten for directions. It is
an all day event, although you can come and hang with us for as long as you
like.
