First Service of Christ Covenant Church

Christ Covenant Church had her first service this last Lord's Day. We had 40 people at our first service. The atmosphere was very friendly. We had an excellent time...worshipping our God. George preached from John 20...it was a very encouraging word. It was also the first time that all covenant members [all those who were baptized] were given the Lord's Table [bread and wine].

I was delighted to watch my children eat and drink the blessings of the Lord! We have held to the beliefs of covenant communion [baptism is the persons "ticket" to the Table] for seven years and this is the first time we have been able to practice it.

We are renting the chapel at the Christian school...it is a nice little chapel...and for now it suits our needs fine.

It was really a great time, the unity and fellowship were very sweet indeed. And yes Alison we are very thankful that the Lord opened the doors at the Christian school. Another church rents the chapel in the morning this is why our service is at 2:30am. We met quite a few of the people from the other church...they all seem very nice. You will have to come and worship with us when you come to G.P.
This is to my friend to the West [Des] and my friend to the South [Alison].
