Dear Covenant family,
‘He will come in and
go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I
have come that they may have life, and have it to the full’ – John 10:9,10
This Sunday we will look at the Good Shepherd. I pray that
this very familiar chapter in John will spur you on to expect more from Him,
look more toward Him and walk in closer communion with Him!
Men’s Retreat – This
Friday – 6 pm , through
Saturday lunch
What to bring? Yourself and your best jokes, Folding Chair,
Flash light, Hiking shoes (for those interested in hiking) Bedding (sheet,
blanket, pillow, mattress) If you don’t have a mattress: There are a few
couches and one mattress available.
Directions: From Hwy 67: Go south towards
Fredericktown/Poplar Bluff. After about 4 miles from the Fredericktown exit,
take Hwy E exit – going west (or right at the bottom of the exit ramp). Go for
about 13 or 14 miles on Highway E (you will cross the St. Francois river first,
then pass a saw mill, and you will see a church on your left; if you see Marble
Creek and Marble Creek Campground you have gone too far). Make a right on
County Road 515. After about a mile on 515, you will cross a low water bridge.
After about 300 feet make a right onto a private road (you will immediately
cross a low water bridge again) Follow that road to the end, it will lead you
to the cabin. Cell phone reception may be limited at the cabin, but texting
does work from time to time.
If your schedule does not allow you to join us for the
entire weekend, feel free to come and leave as you have to. We look forward to
see you, even if it is only for a part of it. We will be taking time to share
from God’s Word together – speaking into each other’s lives with the Bible
open, playing games, eating good food and having fun!
