A Story of Living Hope: John Spiro
17 CommentsThe video above is a testimony by John Spiro, given at Covenant Life Church on Sunday, August 8. John is a longtime member of Covenant Life who is suffering with ALS (often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”). Following John’s testimony, Joshua Harris and other members of the pastoral team gathered around to pray for John, his wife Kathy (who accompanies John in the video), and their family.
For more on the theme of suffering and the call for all Christians to persevere and rejoice in the midst of difficulty, see Joshua Harris’ message, “Fiery Trials.”

Summer Musical - Five Loaves and Two Fish
2 Comments
Performances of this year’s summer youth musical take place Friday, August 6, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 7, at 2:30 p.m. Students in grades 3 - 8 have been working hard over the past two weeks to learn an original musical based on the feeding of the 5,000 entitled “Five Loaves and Two Fish: A Tale of Divine Catering.” The production includes cast, choir, and orchestra and is directed by Patti Goodling.
Simultaneously, Kristina Johnson has been leading a two-week “mini-musical” camp for children in grades K - 2 that also culminates with the kids performing in the “Five Loaves and Two Fish” musical.
Last year’s performances were a big success. Hope to see you there on August 6 or 7.

God has blessed Covenant Life with many members who honor God in the workplace by being examples of faithfulness and excellence. The Baltimore Sun recently published an article about the work of Covenant Life member, Nick DeCarlo, pictured here with wife, Becky.
Enjoy reading about the rigors of Nick’s work as a cold case detective in Howard County.

Praying for the UK
2 Comments
Jeff Purswell led us this past Sunday in praying for the United Kingdom (UK). To inform your ongoing prayers, we’ve posted video (above) with his comments and prayer as well as information (below) on the three Sovereign Grace churches in the UK.
The United Kingdom is a unitary state consisting of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. England comprises the largest part of both the UK and the island of Great Britain. Sovereign Grace Ministries currently has three churches in the UK: Grace Church Bristol in England, Christchurch in Newport, Wales, and Sovereign Grace Church Merthyr in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. The churches are led by senior pastors Nathan Smith, Pete Greasley and Gareth Lloyd, respectively.
Pete Greasley is responsible for international church planting and care on behalf of Sovereign Grace Ministries in Australia, Germany, Africa, India, Sri Lanka and the UK. Supported by Sovereign Grace and Dave Harvey, earlier this month Pete’s church hosted the inaugural [CO]MISSION UK conference to equip church planters and others who are called to ministry.
Also this year, Pete, Christchurch and Sovereign Grace Ministries sent out Dave Taylor, who interned under Pete at Christchurch and then went on to serve as the church’s executive pastor, to plant Sovereign Grace Church Sydney, the first Sovereign Grace church in Australia!
Pray…
• for revival in the UK—for the large nominally Christian population to be truly born again to a living hope in Christ.
• for all three Sovereign Grace churches, that God would shower their ministry with favor and bring many to salvation.
• for the three senior pastors—Pete Greasley, Nathan Smith, and Gareth Lloyd—as they preach God’s Word and lead their churches.
• that God would protect the UK, and England in particular, from terrorist threats, especially the large public places of London.
• for families, elderly and others who are being affected by hard economic times, government budget cuts and higher taxes.
