Jared Mellinger Preaches Here On June 20
0 Comments
What will Covenant Life Church be like 25 years from now? 50 years? How often do you think about the work that God is doing across time and generations? Do you believe your commitment to the church extends beyond your own lifetime? What does it mean to participate in a purposeful transfer of the gospel to those who will come after you?
Jared Mellinger comes to Covenant Life on Sunday, June 20, to remind us that we are part of something far bigger than ourselves. Preaching from Psalm 78: 1-8, Jared will lay out a picture of the good news of God’s salvation being successfully passed from generation to generation. He’ll help us to step back and take in the truth that everyone has a part to play—that God is calling each of us to display his heart for those who will follow us.
Jared Mellinger is the Senior Pastor of Covenant Fellowship Church in Glen Mills, Pa. He joined the church’s pastoral team in 2006 after graduating from the Sovereign Grace Ministries Pastors College. He assumed the role of senior pastor on October 12, 2008. Jared graduated from Kutztown University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education. He lives in Glen Mills with his wife Meghan and their four children.

June 6: Dave Harvey, Helping To Rescue Ambition
0 Comments
Dave Harvey believes ambition is in trouble—godly ambition, that is—the kind that can be, in his words, “a noble force for the glory of God.”
And he’s coming to Covenant Life on Sunday, June 6, to talk about it. [UPDATE: Dave’s message, “The Quest for Contentment” is available for download.]
What comes to mind when you think of ambition? Do you think of the drive for personal honor and fame or a God-centered passion to improve, produce, develop, and create?
Or have you given up on ambition altogether? No dreams, just auto-piloting through life. Confused. Numb.
Dave wants to encourage us to snatch ambition from the heap of failed motivations and put it to work for godly ends—to reach further and dream bigger for the glory of God.
Dave will speak at both the 9 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. services. Please join us!

Tomorrow: Back to Proverbs 3
1 CommentsTwo weeks ago we learned from Proverbs 3:5-6 about trusting in the Lord with all our hearts. Tomorrow we’re going to study the rest of that section in Proverbs 3, considering how we can practice trusting God.
We also have our third church picnic tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has been coming out for these. We’re going to have hot dogs and games again. And we’re going to have lots of chairs in both lobbies so you can escape the heat while enjoying fellowship. See you there!

The Next Few Sundays
1 CommentsA word about what’s coming up the next few Sundays:
This Sunday Mark Mitchell continues our “Love Your Neighbor” series, teaching from Luke 14:12-14 about the kind of hospitality that God honors. Mike Bradshaw will lead our singing. We’ll also start memorizing a new hymn and send off the Pastors College Class of 2009.
We’ll take a break from the “Love Your Neighbor” series on June 14, Youth Sunday. That day the 10:31 youth ministry will “take over” both meetings, and Dave Brewer will give the message.
Isaac Hydoski’s text on June 21 will be Matthew 9:9-13. He plans to emphasize that our devotion to God must be demonstrated by mercy towards sinners. Why? Because it’s in keeping with the very definition of the gospel message: a message for sinners!
Finally, on June 28 Joshua Harris will teach from the Parable of the Prodigal Son, looking at what it means to love people who are struggling spiritually.
Much to look forward to and anticipate with faith! See you on Sunday.
