Dear Covenant family,

 

‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him” – John 7:37

 

It’s time to talk about food again! Last week Christ told us He is the Bread of Life. This Sunday He explains how He is our source of ‘Living Water’ – something that will burst forth in us and out of us, refreshing and awesome! I pray we may receive that Living Water; a promise of the Spirit, more fully.

Also: We plan on hearing a testimony all the way from Mongolia – how Christ came and saved a family, and how that includes a journey to a Harvard scholarship, among other things. And: special music from our youth talent.
