This Week at Covenant Family Church

3.14.24

Hello everyone,

This Sunday, I will conclude the series on the Ten Commandments with a sermon on the tenth commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house…” (Exodus 20:17). During the 10:00-10:30 am lesson time, we will continue the series on American Presbyterian history with a look at Presbyterians during the Civil War and the disunion in church and state in that era. In the evening service at 6:30 pm, I will preach on Zephaniah 2:4-15, “Conquering His and Our Enemies.”

This evening (Thursday), the midweek study will continue with the last chapter of Reformed Worship by Jonty Rhodes at 6:00 pm at the Bringe home, with singing, prayer, and a study. When we finish the book we are currently studying, we plan to study another book in the same series, Reformed Theology by Jonathan Masters. The church has copies and will help cover part of the cost (normally it is $12, but you only need reimburse the church $5). There are also audio and ebook versions available online.

Good Friday

Christ Presbyterian Church has invited us to a combined Good Friday service at 6:30 pm, March 29th, at their location (2154 Bluestone Drive, St. Charles, 63303). Rev. Will Barnett, from Sovereign Grace Reformed Church (OPC) in Doniphan, MO will give the sermon.

Easter Schedule

On March 31, we will eat together at 10:00 am before the worship service, rather than afterwards. We will take a break from the lesson series that Sunday, but both morning and evening worship services will be held at their normal times (11:00 am and 6:30 pm).
