Listening for God
Let’s say you believe that God speaks to people even now.
Do you know how to hear what is being said? What might listening to God look like? How can we become better at doing it?
I hear you.
Actually trying to comprehend the words from people we can literally hear, hear in our usual way, is tough enough. The idea of listening for the Holy One, for Being Itself, for the Divine Within Us may be a bit much for you.
But if Life Itself, the Heart of Love itself is speaking to us, and if there is a deep Wisdom Within Us that can teach us how to live richer and deeper lives…. well, should we not give listening to
that voice
a chance?
Join us for
Gathering
this Sunday as we listen for the Living God in and through what happens.
Yours on the journey,
Katie

Interim Pastor Search
Covenant’s Interim Pastor Nominating Committee is hard at work looking at candidates. The committee members are Beth Askue, Kim Halsey, Linda Billman, Charlie Bergmann and Rusty Miller. It is hoped the fulltime Interim, with a likely tenure of 12-18 months, can be on the job this spring. He or she will be charged with leading worship services, guiding the Covenant staff and Session and helping Katie with weddings, funerals and hospital visits. The Interim will oversee the transitional period until a new, permanent Pastor is in place. All of us will be involved in the mission study and discerning our way ahead. Please pray for those working on the Interim Nominating Committee and, in time, the Pastor Nominating Committee. In the meantime,
Katie Kinnison will be acting head of staff until our gap pastor, Don Hilkerbaumer, arrives March 21.
