Dear Covenant family,

 

‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted’ – Matthew 5:4

 

Have you ever turned down an offer because you knew there was something better just down the road? Weren’t you glad you said ‘no’ once you actually got the better deal in hand? Followers of Christ are people who live ‘with a better deal in mind’. We will continue to look at the beatitudes this Sunday, unlocking the ‘upside down Kingdom’ secret of how mourning can actually make you ‘happy’ – or blessed. Come and find out how His Better Deal can be yours!
