Join us for worship at 10:30 am on Sundays

Your session has been engaged in a process called Project Regeneration. This is a process designed to help congregations reflect on what it means to be the church in their particular setting. Members of the session talked about this during our congregational gathering in October and I have mentioned it in preaching.

We have spent time reading and discussing the book Sailboat Church by Joan S. Gray. This book compares rowboat churches who strive to keep the church going through their own efforts (rowing) to sailboat churches who move through the winds of the Spirit (sailing). Please let me know if you would like a copy of this book.

We are now getting ready for a crucial part of this process – a commitment to spend 40 Days in intentional prayer. We would like to invite you to join us in this prayer time. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, driven there by the Holy Spirit. While we know he was tempted by Satan during that time, I suspect much of his time was spent in prayer. During Lent we remember Jesus’ time in the wilderness and this year we are going to do that in prayer. We will start on Ash Wednesday and finish the day before Easter. Each week the devotional in the bulletin insert will reflect the prayer prompts for that week. These will also be in our weekly e-News, “Happening at Covenant”. If you would like a copy, please contact the office.
