One is to come in-person for your prayer time to room 105 in the worship center anytime between 7:30 am - 7:00 pm. Prayer guides are provided for you in the prayer room. Another option is to pick a time slot and pray where you are, whether that’s at home or at work. The day is divided into 30-minute segments for individuals to sign up and pray for supported workers and for the needs of our congregation.

Christ Covenant Church is hosting the United Kingdom Partnership (UKP) on Monday, October 31 - Tuesday, November 1, 2022 with 90 attendees traveling from the United Kingdom and from PCA churches throughout the United States. The United Kingdom Partnership is a group of like-minded Presbyterian Churches in America (PCA) networking with United Kingdom nationals to facilitate an indigenous and reformed church planting movement in the United Kingdom.

The partnership’s goal is to seek to foster and to establish congregation to congregation relationships between PCA churches and U.K. church plants. Once these congregation to congregation relationships are established, the UKP will step aside. The goal of the UKP is not the strength of the partnership itself but rather to facilitate the enduring strength of the congregation to congregation relationship.

United Kingdom denominations that are attending the UKP include the IPC (International Presbyterian Church), FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches), FCS (Free Church of Scotland), EPCEW (Evangelical Presbyterian Church England and Wales), Mission to the World, and CoServe.

We hope you will join us in praying for the upcoming United Kingdom Partnership!

Earlier this year, Pastor Eric Russ preached forcefully on the sin of pornography on “The Battle Against Lust” from Matthew 5:27-30 and asked us if we were in the fight. Many men are in the fight, but they are fighting alone and making little progress. If that is you, we urge you to join Set Free. We are a group of men who will help you in the fight with resources and accountability. Send a confidential email to setfree@christcovenant.org and we’ll join you in the fight!

For an Afghan refugee, speaking the English language is an essential key to open the door of assimilation in America. Afghan refugees are in need of bus passes to help them get to and from their English classes at Project 658, which is a ministry that Christ Covenant Church supports. Would you consider either purchasing a bus pass called the “10 ride local,” which is a bus pass that does not expire; or, would you consider purchasing a gift card for Harris Teeter where these bus passes can be purchased? The bus pass or gift card can be dropped off in the mailbox on the outside wall at the Outreach and Missions house or you can contact Amy Van Dusen at either 704-814-1064 or avandusen@christcovenant.org. Bus passes can also be purchased at other locations that you can see by clicking here. Thank you for considering helping in this practical need!

When we sing the psalms, we are singing songs that Jesus sang, songs that were about Jesus, and songs that point to Jesus. Our hope is to have a steady diet of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs at Christ Covenant. To that end for eight or nine months of the year we will try to highlight a psalm, a hymn, or other songs during seasons like Advent or Easter. We are beginning this new focus with Psalm 1 and have created a handout for you that focuses on Psalm 1. Our hope is that you can collect these psalms as a personal devotional resource or use them in small groups as many do with the bulletin. Please pick up a copy of Psalm 1 that contains an introduction and the music (with chords for instrumentalists) in the lobbies.
