Jaars Day

Come and see what God is doing around the world in Bible translation and how you can be a part of it! Everyone is invited to come to Jaars Day on Saturday, October 22, from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm at the Jaars Center in Waxhaw, NC. Come and learn about the mission outreach of Jaars as you "visit" the faraway places where Bible translation happens. Ride in a plane, boat, or 4 WD vehicle. Be sure to reserve your ride time when you arrive. Entry to Jaars Day is free! For more information visit jaars.org/jaars-day.
Jaars is a multidisciplinary team of problem-solvers committed to the belief—and the vision—that people’s lives and communities are transformed as they experience God’s Word in their own languages. From pilot training and mission aviation services to remote technology and communications support, we provide off-the-grid logistical solutions that help make Bible translation possible.

Looking for a Seat on Sundays? |
|
|
We are blessed to have growing attendance at our morning worship service, but there are still plenty of seats available. For example, we want you to know the wings next to the stage are available for seating. You can access these areas from the balcony level. Also, we are adjusting our mask seating section to safely meet the decreasing need and add additional seating there. If you have trouble locating a seat, please look for one of our worship coordinators. They will be happy to help you find a place to sit for worship. If you notice someone looking for a seat, please look around for space available around you and see if you can move to the middle of your pew to create additional space. We are looking forward to worshiping with you on Sunday! |

Afghan Refugee Donation Storage Needed |
|
|
One of the areas we have discovered a missing link in service to the refugee community while working with our Afghan refugee family is the need for a storage unit or warehouse space to house the donations from churches until the specific need is identified. If you, or someone you know, has a storage unit or some warehouse space that could be used to store donations for the refugee families coming to our area, please contact Amy VanDusen at avandusen@christcovenant.org.
