Women's Summer Bible Studies |
|
|
Women of all ages are welcome to invited to join a Summer Bible study and bring a friend!
Both studies are free!
|
|
In God’s unfolding plan of redemption, a way He helped His ancient, chosen people to believe in the coming Messiah was through appointed feasts and festivals. These gave the Israelites a picture of the Messiah who would come over a 1,000 years later. In this 6-week study, we will focus on how the 7 feasts recorded in Leviticus 23 pointed to and were fulfilled in Jesus, and what meaning the feasts have for us today. Click here to register and to learn more about this study.
|
|
Join Women's Ministry on Tuesday evenings in June and July as we study the spiritual disciplines. We will come together each Tuesday to enjoy snacks, fellowship, a testimony, and teaching on that week's spiritual discipline, based on the book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald Whitney. Come learn more about these important spiritual disciplines, including prayer, Bible reading, worship, evangelism, and service! Click here to learn more and to register.

Our Afghan family is on the Move! |
|
|
Our Afghan family is getting closer to having more permanent housing! The time that they've spent at the Silvers' apartment has been a wonderful time of respite for them. They've gotten to know many of our church members and have learned a lot about living in the United States. So many have given their time, talent and treasure in helping Sikandar and his family and it is so appreciated!
Sikandar (Dad) is scheduled to sign a lease at Sailboat Bay Apartments at the end of this week. Once we have access to the apartment and know the layout, we can determine what items the family needs from what has already been donated. Christ Covenant members can then participate in donating whatever else is needed. Stay tuned.
The family are enjoying their vehicle donated by one of our church families. You can see a picture of the family with the vehicle on the screens prior to the beginning of service.
Great way for youth to serve
Childcare need: We are still in need of people to watch Mehroma (15 month old) while Sikandar & Shila (parents) are having their ESL classes at their apartment. The classes are Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 10:00 to 11:30 am. You do not need to be CARE certified since the parents are present. Click here to volunteer.
