This Week at Covenant Family Church

11.19.25

Hello brothers and sisters,

This Sunday, the 10:00 am lesson will be on question 101 of the Shorter Catechism, on the first petition of the Lord’s prayer, and the morning sermon will be on Psalm 147:5-11, “Humility and Thanksgiving” (we will return to 1 Peter the following Sunday).

We will hold our annual Pilgrim Heritage Celebration after the fellowship meal at 1:45 pm, with speakers Peter Bringe, Jeff Hamann, and John Huffman. The talks will be on “The Pilgrims and Work,” “The Pilgrims and Recreation,” and “The Pilgrims and Worship.” We will not hold our normal evening service this Sunday, but will return to our normal schedule the following Sunday.

Midweek Meeting

Our midweek meeting is held at the Bringe home on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. Our current study is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This book is a survey of the New Testament and it is composed of short chapters that I read during our meeting, as well as study questions which we use for discussion. This evening’s chapter is about the Acts of the Apostles.

Blog Post

Pentecostal and Charismatic
In this series on denominational traditions, we come in this blog post to the Pentecostal and Charismatic tradition. The Charismatic movement of the mid-1900s came from the Pentecostal movement of the early 1900s, which in turn had developed from the Holiness movement in the Wesleyan tradition of the late 1800s.
