Reminder: Fall Festival this SATURDAY; 5 pm

 

Dear Covenant family,

 

“Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now. “John 2:10

 

Always thought Christians should be nice, well behaved, proper and….. outright boring? Think again! Jesus’ first appearance is not at the local Christian book store, bible college or bible study class, but at a week long wedding feast. And there he not only enjoyed himself, but helped the bride and groom’s families have a bigger party by turning water into wine. His next appearance may have been even more disturbing. He turns into somewhat of a lunatic as he clears the temple, yelling and throwing tables around. Why did Jesus party one day and get so mad the next? Come and find out this Sunday how Jesus love is both an invitation to the best thing ever and results in anger at anyone who wants to ruin His party. And we’ll end our time by asking ourselves this question: Does your life look like a wedding party, or did you let someone or something ruin the joy of it? Sermon Title: It’s time to put on your dancing shoes!
