12.7.25
Hello brothers and sisters,
This Sunday, in the morning I will preach a sermon on 1 Peter 1:22-2:3, “The Living and Abiding Word of God,” and in the evening I will preach a sermon on 2 Samuel 4, “The Death of Ish-bosheth.” The 10:00 am lesson will be on question 103 of the Shorter Catechism, on the third petition of the Lord’s prayer.
Caroling on December 10th
On December 10th (Wednesday), we plan to carol in the Duncan’s neighborhood. We will gather at their house at 6:30, carol from door to door, and then return for dessert. Lyric sheets will be provided.
If desired, families can bring a plate of cookies to share after caroling and some cookies to exchange. Please bring cookies for the cookie exchange packed in bags of about six cookies, and plan to bring as many packages as you’d like to take home.
Midweek Meeting
Our midweek meeting is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm at the Bringe home. 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. The title of this evening’s chapter is “The Cross and the Resurrection as the Foundation of Apostolic Preaching.”

Covenant Family Church is a conservative, Bible-believing, and elder-governed congregation located in Wentzville, MO which seeks to evangelize the lost and equip those who have been converted to walk worthy of their calling in Christ. 
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church continues to be vigorous in its defense and propagation of the historic Christian faith, particularly as it was articulated by the Protestant Reformers of the 16-17th centuries.
