Dear Covenant Family - I am late getting this midweek update out, taking Labor Day off has thrown me big time, so here goes:
PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE: our focus begins on Sunday. Reminding you that you should have started the reading on last Sunday. My message: What on Earth am I Here For? will introduce thie 40 day study. Discussion groups will be available on Sunday mornings for those without a Sunday School class or Wednesday evenings for others. Don't miss the excitement of doing something across the church.
YOUTH NEWS: Gretchen Cheshire, our youth director, says that our youth once finishing the renovation of their youth room, will pick up their Bible Study and may do Purpose Driven Life together. Be watching for their announcement.
PUMPKIN PATCH: It won't be long now, September 26th, a Sunday, we will be unloading our first full pumpkin truck right after 11:00AM worship service. But even before that date, I hope you are planning on how you can help us provide the best Pumpkin Patch event yet. We need people during the week to help with our school field trips, we need people on afternoons to work the sales trailer, we need people during the weekends to help meet and greet all the people the LORD sends our way, with concessions, hay rides, etc. There will be a bulletin board out in the foyer this Sunday. Pick up a pen and sign in. You won't regret it.
THANK YOU: If you missed Sunday (a few of you did), we still had 348 on a labor Day weekend. I used the message to thank you for your "work produced by faith, your labor prompted by Love." I mean it, this is a very generous and giving congregation. When so many sister congregations are struggling, we are so BLESSED.
GROWING: We are in middle of trying to figure out how to help our Preschool and Mother's Day Out program GROW. We are looking at temporary housing for our office space, so the school can use our space. WHAT A GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE.
Sincerely,
Chris Blanchard
PS: be on the lookout for the start of the Fellowship Class Pecan Sale. Look for the October newsletter to see all the good things they do with the profits as we do all the good things eating the pecans.
