Dear Covenant family,

 

Praise the Lord all you nations, extol him, all you peoples. For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever' – Jer. 29:7

 

I look forward to our time this Saturday, as we seek to ‘bless the city and nation into which God has called us’ – Ferguson/Florissant; with Salem Evangelical Free Church

 

Here are the details:

-         Departure time from CBC: 8.15

-         What to wear: Comfortable clothes to walk around outside in.

-         What to bring: A few people may be doing outside work and would benefit from bringing some long pants to work in. Otherwise relaxed summer wear would work. There is some poison ivy and there will be one person doing some weed-eating.

-         Time commitment -a full day is preferred. It is possible for a few people to jump in midday. If you can’t make it for the entire day please contact Marco or Megan at 573-543-5290.

-         Come ready to serve and be flexible, but also come ready to worship and grow.
