Ashbel Green and the American Revolution
In this blog post, I write about Rev. Ashbel Green; in particular, his and his father’s involvement in the American Revolution and what he later wrote about some of the difference between it and the French Revolution.

Our midweek meeting is held on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. The current series is based on J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History. This coming Wednesday (the 22nd) it will be held at the Stahl home and the discussion will be on chapter 38, which is on the book of Revelation.

Pastor Peter Bringe
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.
