4.24.24
Hello brothers and sisters,
This Sunday I will continue the series on the Acts of the Apostles with a sermon on Acts 2:22-40, “Jesus is Lord and Christ.” During our Christian education time (10:00-10:30 am), the lesson will be on the fundamentalist-modernist controversy (1910-1936) and the founding of the OPC. At 6:30 pm is our evening service and I will continue the sermon series on the book of Esther with “For Such a Time as This” (Esther 4).
The midweek meeting will be held this Thursday evening at 6:00 pm at the Bringe home. We will discuss the final chapter of Reformed Theology by Jonathan Masters, along with singing and prayer. Then we will take a break during the months of May and June.

Blog Post
19th Century American Presbyterian Missionaries
Recently in Sunday school, I talked about the history of American Presbyterian foreign missions in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In this blog post, I introduce four of the missionaries from this time: Justin Perkins (Persia), A.A. Hodge (India), Hunter Corbett (China), and Ashbel Green Simonton (Brazil).
Conferences
Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary hosted a conference last month on a theme similar to last Sunday’s lesson: Modern Missions in the Reformed World. You can listen to the recordings from the conference on YouTube here and on Sermon Audio here.

We are looking for volunteers to help man the booth, Friday 6-10:30pm, Saturday noon-10:30pm, and Sunday 1pm-6pm.

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.
