This Sunday @ Covenant...

Hello to all Covenant Families & Friends,

As many of you may know...THIS SUNDAY is a very special day in the life of our church! During our 11 AM worship service we will be recognizing & celebrating families. Our children, youth, & families are leading the charge by "Stepping Out In Faith" and leading worship. Prepare yourself for singing, dancing, praise, and LOTS & LOTS of energy! Family Sunday is something special. It is a Sunday where our children become teachers and we transform into pupils. It is a time where parents, individuals, &/or adults take a step back, observe, & listen to God's "still small voice" resonating through the hearts and voices of our very own children/youth. It is truly amazing how God speaks to us & through us.

It seems only fitting that our children & youth are the ones setting the pace and taking the first steps this Sunday. It is their energy, physical and emotional drive, enthusiasm, & overall confidence that will forge our path. As capital campaign pledge cards are distributed this week, it is natural we start questioning a building project. As a church family we find ourselves at a crossroads in our communal journey of faith. As we struggle with the HARD questions (to open the door or shy away from it), I believe we must observe the passion, love, & commitment of our children. As parents/family members, we must foster and encourage such traits as well as share in their passion & commitment if we are to take those proverbial 1st steps. Let's follow their lead - let's find that confidence, let's passionately define ourselves and our mission, & let's believe in ourselves and take that leap of faith TOGETHER! If we are honest & have faith that God is with us on this journey, no matter the outcome, we will not fail!

I challenge each and every one of you to be in attendance this Sunday so that you can experience this beautiful occasion with your Covenant family.

Peace,
