Dear Covenant family,
‘He said: Woman, where
are your accusers? Has no one condemned you? “No one, sir,” she said. “Then
neither do I condemn you”, Jesus declared: “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
– John 8:10, 11
We all make mistakes, don’t we? Have you ever told anyone
‘Don’t beat yourself up over it’? Or have you ever felt worthless and an utter
failure after messing up? Jesus knows. The story of the woman caught in
adultery clearly shows that he is no advocate of condemnation, but finds it
quite destructive. The interesting part of this story is that after destroying
this destructive foe, he tells her to ‘sin no more’ – believing that she can do
the very thing that her accusers (and maybe herself) thought she never could:
live a perfect(?) life. Wow! Does that sound like a salvation story? Come this
Sunday to find in Christ a safe haven from condemnation and a Gateway to Life!
The Thrift Store is in desperate need of Cashiers for the
following shifts:
Mornings 9am - 12:30pm
on Monday and Thursdays
Afternoons 12:30pm - 5pm
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays
One shift every week per person would go a long way in
covering these openings.
