Bible Reading Plans

0 Comments

Blogger Justin Taylor has written a post listing a variety of ways to read the Bible in a year. He has done his usual brilliant job, taking time to highlight why having a plan is important and why some plans are weak. He includes 10 Reading Plans for ESV Editions available in an array of formats and how to access them. Take a look, and consider what would work best for you.

Justin is vice president of book publishing and an associate publisher at Crossway. He blogs at “Between Two Worlds,” hosted by the Gospel Coalition.

Thanks to the Sound/Tech Teams

0 Comments

A huge thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make our two Christmas Eve services possible—from the parking crew, musicians and greeters to the child care team. But I especially want to thank the sound/tech team. They served all week in preparation for the Christmas Eve services. They worked from late afternoon to 8:30-9 p.m.on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. THANK YOU for serving your church and more importantly our Savior. Merry Christmas!

Christianity Explored & Book of Matthew Study

1 Comments

We’ve planned two special opportunities for those who are new to Christianity and the Bible to meet with God this January: a course called “Christianity Explored” and a Bible study on the Gospel of Matthew:

Christianity Explored | Sundays, Jan. 8 – Feb. 19 | 11:30 a.m.

“Christianity Explored” is a place for you to consider what life is all about. It’s a seven-week course about the life story of one person, Jesus Christ. You can discover who he is, what he did, and what this has to do with your life story.

A typical session starts with food, at no cost to you, and a short talk, usually by one of the pastors from Covenant Life. Then, there’s a chance to ask questions about what you just heard. You’ll meet great people. You won’t be asked to sing or pray or read out loud, and you don’t need to know anything about the Bible to enjoy the course.

We hope you’ll come and explore. Just contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at the church office with questions or to register.

Bible Study | Wednesdays, Jan. 11 – Feb. 15 | 7:30 p.m.

Many of us have questions about Christianity but have not read the Bible to find answers. If that describes you, we think you’ll enjoy this study of the Book of Matthew. It will help you begin reading the Bible and understanding its central message for yourself. It’s also a great place to ask questions.

The study will be held at Covenant Life Church, with light refreshments served. We hope you’ll grow to enjoy the Bible more and make new friends in the process!

To register, or simply get more information, contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) at the church office. There is no charge for registering; it simply helps us to plan.

Terry Virgo Messages

2 Comments

Joshua mentioned on Sunday that we would make available video of the Terry Virgo messages from this past weekend. Below are all three: two from Saturday evening and one from Sunday.

We are providing them here using a video sharing service called Vimeo.  Soon, we’ll be offering video of recent sermons directly in the Resource Library. But for now, feel the freedom to bookmark the Covenant Life Vimeo channel that has sermons going back to December of 2010. 

Special thanks to Dave Wilcox and the Production teams who work hard to make live and recorded sermon video (and audio) happen, and Communications volunteer Caleb Barker who has handled much of the processing/encoding of sermon video.

Visit the Resource Library for audio of Terry’s messages.
