From the Associate Pastor

Where did the summer go? School has started, Wednesday Night Supper and Bible studies will begin shortly, Pumpkin Patch and then it will be Charge Conference time in November.

One of the things we do at conference is to vote for those persons we want to place on various committees. We have many areas of ministry that you can serve at Covenant. Rick Warren wrote in one of his devotionals this summer is that “God has given each of us a unique emotional heartbeat that races when we think about the subjects, activities, or circumstances that interest us. We instinctively care about some things and not about others. These are clues to where you should be serving.” Warren goes on to say, “that another word for heart is passion. There are certain subjects that you feel deeply passionate about and others that you couldn’t care less about. Some experiences turn you on and capture your attention, while others turn you off or bore you to tears. These reveal the nature of your heart, listen for inner promptings that can point to the ministry God intends for you to have.”

What are you passionate about? What captures your attention? What experiences turn you on? Please pray about how you can use your gifts and talents to serve here at Covenant and then let Pastor Chris or me know where you would like to serve.
