Dear Covenant family,

 

‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die’ – John 11:25,26

 

Have you ever been in a conversation that was kind of ‘dull’ until the life of the party showed up and changed everything in your favor? This Sunday we will look at the Resurrected Christ, who promises to changes our conversation on life’s challenges, as hope of a Resurrected life – both here and forever – fills the air. Enjoy a new perspective!

I look forward to be with you, as it will be our last Sunday before our departure to Holland. We hope to be back with you all on Sunday, June 14^th
