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

 

As the days are getting longer, do you look forward to Spring? This Sunday you’ll get a ‘spring preview’ as we look at the beautiful springs that can be found in the Missouri outdoors. Did you know that there are a lot of significant characteristics of a spring that directly parallel and further explain the promise of Jesus that ‘out of your belly will flow streams of living waters’? As we continue part 2 of ‘Living Water’, I pray God will refresh and replenish us deeply. Be thirsty!

We also look forward to the testimony of new members Matt & Megan Viox.

 

Wednesday Men’s Meeting

We are taking a temporary break from Wednesday’s men’s meeting to direct time toward ‘casting our nets’  in the area of reaching out to area youth and their families and other initiatives (homeless shelter). Men’s breakfast to continue as normal.

March 12 – YFC Banquet

Marco is looking to fill a table for the YFC Banquet on March 12^th. God has truly blessed this ministry in reaching out to hundreds of teens in our area. Come and hear inspiring stories of how God is touching young people’s lives in our community. Contact Marco at 366-0787 to reserve your spot at the table. Evening starts at 6.30 pm
