Coffee and Questions: Three Nights
1 CommentsThe pastors have planned three “Coffee and Questions” evenings in December where members of the pastoral team will be on hand to provide any update they can on current events and respond to questions. It’s a busy time of year, but we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.
Use the form on the Church Family Blog to sign up for one of the nights. Signup is first come, first served, and to maximize the number of members who can participate, the form limits you to signing up for one evening only. We are hoping to serve about 100 people each evening. Thanks for your love for the church and for wanting to be a part of these gatherings.

Russell Moore Will Speak to Men in October
6 Comments“Tempted and Tried” Trailer - Russell Moore from Crossway on Vimeo.
A “heads up” for men: On the evening of October 22, we’ll have the opportunity to learn once again from our friend Russell Moore. You may recall Dr. Moore’s visit last September and his Sunday message, “Christ in an Orphan-Making Culture.” This time his theme will relate to his recent book, Tempted and Tried: Temptation and the Triumph of Christ. The meeting start time is 7 p.m. Stay afterwards for macho snacks and an all-out epic game of dodge ball!

Outreach to Area Neighborhoods Coming This Month
0 CommentsYouth from Covenant Life are putting “feet to their faith” July 11-15 by offering a week of Christian day camps in communities close to the church. The goal is to love our neighbors through serving, developing friendships, and sharing biblical truth as we combine service projects with intensive, relational ministry.
Todd Keeler is leading the initiative called simply “Local Missions 2011” (see above for photos from last year), with the support and help of Family Life pastor Matt Maka and the 10:31 youth ministry. Participants will be primarily 10:31 youth and their parents, including other Covenant Life adults who have already been serving faithfully in these communities.
Youth and parents will fan out to several local neighborhoods each day to lead day camps for children with games, singing, Bible teaching, Scripture memory, arts and crafts, snacks, and miscellaneous fun. At the end of the week, each team hopes to host a cookout for the children and their parents right in their neighborhood.
Todd sees the week of camps as “another step into the community with the gospel, following in the footsteps of Mark Mitchell (Outreach Pastor), Drew Garfield (Community Outreach and Missions Coordinator), and others who have been getting to know and love our neighbors.”
It is tremendously exciting to think of the possibilities as God directs more and more people from Covenant Life to serve in practical ways and build relationships with members of these communities. We hope that this week will play a small part. Let’s pray that God will continue to fan into flame his gifts at work in us as we befriend our neighbors with the love and truth of Christ.
