Midweek Reminders from Covenant - November 30, 2010

What a blustery winter feeling week. I put the Christmas tree on the note because I know you have been putting up Christmas decorations or at least have been thinking about it.

We are back in routine, almost. Still trying to get our power turned on in our new administrative office building, oh well. Progress, but slowly. But you can be prepared for Christmas by participating in our mid-week study.

Don't forget-

9:00am - Explorers Bible Study

Thursday

10:00am - Decorating the Sanctuary - all invited. Help the preachers decorate the Sanctuary for our Christmas Season

Sunday
CONSECRATION SUNDAY - Be prepared to make your commitment as we present our Estimate of Giving Card for 2011. I challenged us to be "Cathedral Builders". Helping to lay the foundation for the future of our church and our part in building the Kingdom of God.

4:00pm - Annual Charge Conference. All invited to meet with our District Superintendent as we elect officers for 2011, set the pastor's salary package for 2011, and the big business is the approve the next step in our building program, the hiring of an architect to develop the working plans so we can get firm bids and get our finances in order. Please note, there will be one more church-wide conference after this one in which the church will have the option to build or not. I am excited and know most of us know how much we need to expand our facilities. Especially as we lay the foundation for our future.

Sincerely,
Chris Blanchard
