Dear Covenant family,
"Guard your heart
more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it” – Proverbs
4:23 (Gods
Word Translation)
Are you making any New Year resolutions? Some may, hoping
for a good start or a better New Year. Some may not, as resolutions tend to be
broken, and who wants to deal with more disappointment? May I suggest to you
one solid New Years Resolution? Keep a close watch on your heart, because from
it flows everything in life. Resolutions often fail when our heart hasn’t been
changed. We miss the right foundation to build on. Full life takes place when the
heart beats right! I like the word ‘flow’. It speaks of a natural result,
automatic – you can’t avoid it. It’s not forced, but it simply happens. This Sunday we’ll look at a healthy flow of
life for you in 2015 by doing what matters most: guarding your heart. Look
forward to see you Sunday!
White Elephant
tomorrow
Darlene Berg writes: White Elephant to take place on New
Years Day from 3-7 pm . We will start
with children’s white elephant exchange, a white chili/chowder early supper and
then the "adult/adolescent" white elephant exchange and cookie
dessert. Bring a gift in your home that you no longer need (nothing trashy, don’t
buy anything in the store, something that is ‘fun’ or ‘unique’) and bring some
food. Food categories include:
- Soups: Chowder/White Chili;
- Bread/Crackers
- Cookies
- Nibbles – fruit/cheese vegies
