For Ladies: Saturday Morning Seminars

0 Comments

This year, the women’s ministry of Covenant Life Church will be hosting two Saturday Morning Seminars for the women of the church and their guests. These seminars are designed to provide encouragement and teaching on a variety of issues, with some seminars targeting the needs of specific groups of women. Here are details on the first seminar:

Charlotte Ennis: An Ordinary Woman and Her Extraordinary God
Walking with God as a Single Woman
Date: Saturday, October 23
Time: 9 a.m. to noon
Location: Events Center

You may think that being single means being alone, but nothing could be further from the truth for the Christian. Our amazing, loving God is always near and always much more involved than we can imagine.

Is it possible to find faith, hope, and joy no matter what? Who is this God who loved us so much that He gave his only Son to save us? What does he say about himself and us? How can we not only be encouraged but excited about the future? Join us as Charlotte Ennis shares a look back on her 20-year walk as a Christian single woman, from the amazing moments to the ordinary days.

This seminar is geared toward single women eighteen and over; however, all women 12 and up are welcome and will come away blessed and inspired by Charlotte’s teaching and example. Please join us for a time of teaching and Q&A. No registration required.

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.

A Conference on Christian Sexuality

5 Comments

We live in a culture that is constantly bombarding us with half-truths and lies about what sexual freedom is and where we will find true fulfillment in life, but God, who made us and every facet of our being, created us with clear intentions for our sexuality. You’re invited to spend an evening and a morning seeking a better understanding of God’s will and how we can glorify him as sexual creatures.

The conference runs Friday, August 6, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Saturday, August 7, from 9:30 a.m. to noon in the Events Center. Braden Greer will teach. Cost is $3 at the door.

The conference material is intended to serve primarily singles 18 and up, but as the goal is to equip Christians to think biblically about their sexuality, there will be broad application for those who are married as well. Mature high school students may also benefit. Parents and students who have specific questions about attending are encouraged to contact Braden Greer or Isaac Hydsoki at the church office.

Topics will include “The Individual Pursuit of Christian Sexuality,” “Receiving Help from the Church in the Pursuit of Christian Sexuality,” and “Giving Help to Others in the Pursuit of Christian Sexuality.”

For more information, e-mail Melanie Garfield, or call the church office.
