Dear Covenant family,

 

‘For God so loved the world, that He gave His One and Only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, should not die, but have everlasting life’ – John 3:16

 

I would like to ask you to pray for this Easter. Pray that God, through the Power of the Holy Spirit, would make this verse a reality for all in attendance on Sunday! For those that know Him, may this Easter be a fresh invitation to walk in His Resurrection Power. For those that don’t know Him yet, may the invitation for new life be communicated, heard and received clearly. I am Praying for Sunday. Would you join me? Bring a friend!
