Prayer Service & Blessing of the Children

Our pastoral staff believes it is vital that we join together (in-person or at home) before the throne of God to bring him our needs and seek his favor on Sunday, August 23, at 6pm.. Our evening worship will include several favorite hymns, a short sermon, and an extended time of focused prayer. We will also include a Covid-friendly time of prayer and blessing of our children! Beyond this one evening, our elders would love to know your specific prayer requests by email so they can pray for your children this year.

Fall Sunday School begins
Sunday, August 30, at 9:30am
|
|
|
The Fall Sunday School is starting with a four week series on "The Gift of Friendship" and will be taught by some of our pastors. What is friendship? Why do we need it, and how do we nurture it in our lives? This Sunday School series will explore the ways that God has designed friendship to bless and strengthen us in the life of faith. Join us as we reflect on the importance of friendship and its role in the Christian’s life today.
You can watch/listen to any class on all our digital platforms at your convenience. This series begins Sunday, August 30, at 9:30am with Pastor Dave Baxter teaching "What is the need for friendship?"

Senior Adult Sunday School is Coming Soon! |
|
|
The Senior Adult Sunday School series this Fall is “The Uniqueness of the God-Man” and will be taught by Bruce Creswell.
The question “Who is this” is still being asked today just like it was asked during Christ’s earthly ministry. The answer is basic to Christianity. Understanding Jesus’ ministry is rooted in the understanding of Jesus’ “unique” Person. We will be looking at the life and ministry of our Savior, from His incarnation to His death and resurrection to His second coming. Our prayer is that “the Holy Spirit, who delights to reveal the things of Christ to us, will unveil His glory” as we look into the Word.
Details on how you can come in-person to the Sunday School class are coming soon. Each class will be recorded and available on all our digital platforms. Stay tuned for more information!

Christ Covenant offers three different types of support groups that are available to those who seek to join a support group with friendly, caring people who understand what you are going through and want to help. Grieving a loss, walking through a divorce, or providing care for a parent or child are all difficult experiences you don’t have to go through alone.
GriefShare, DivorceCare for Men & DivorceCare for Women will begin August 17 and meet through December 7 online through Zoom from 6:30pm-8:00pm. There is a $15 fee for the workbook for GriefShare and DivorceCare.
Caregivers will begin September 8 and meet through November 17 online through Zoom from 6:30pm-8:00pm. Cost is $8.00 for the book Ambushed by Grace that you’ll walk through together.
