Reminder:. We are joining the area wide camp revival at the Methodist Church in Farmington at 6.30 p.m. No service at CBC tonight. Nazarene Church will lead Camp meeting this evening

 

Dear Covenant family,

 

 “Come”, he replied, “and you will see”. – John 1:39

 

Thank you to all of you for casting your nets!

I am so thankful to see what God is doing: watching the children casting their nets this past Sunday Morning, the acts of kindness that have spontaneously sprung up in our midst, the upcoming harvest festival designed to reach out to our neighbors, five (!) teams to lead children’s church thanks to new volunteers, the churches partnering this week in a tent revival that is off to a great start, a TV screen in the lobby for visitors, etc…. and did I mention that God did some amazing things this past Sunday during our community survey in the neighborhood? Six teams of two or three went out in the community and many meaningful conversations and acts of love were given. Do you want to know what happened? Expect to hear a testimony this Sunday

Another testimony you can expect this Sunday is from Mike Gluntz from Christ Community Church. During Sunday School he will share his personal story of Jesus as well as give you a preview of Family Camp, scheduled for the first weekend in October.

Sunday’s Message will look at ‘What does it mean to be a disciple?’ Jesus’ stunning calling of the first 5 disciples reveals a lot about what our calling as his disciples means. As he told John and Andrew: “Come & See!” May we experience the same and see Him in a new way this Sunday!

 

Sign Up: Meals for Family Camp and food items for Fall Festival

This Sunday we will continue the sign up for meals & housing for church camp, and food items that you can bring for the Fall Festival. Lists are available for each in the lobby.

 

Prayer and Praise Reports:

‘Cast Our Nets’ – May He continue to lead and direct us. For God to continue working in the hearts of those that were visited this past Sunday.
