This Week at Covenant Family Church

7.8.26

Hello brothers and sisters,

My sermon in the morning service this Sunday will be on Psalm 19, “The Speech of Creation and Scripture.” My sermon in the evening service will be on Luke 15:11-32, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son” The 10:00 am lesson will be on chapter 17 of Thomas Watson’s Heaven Taken by Storm.

This Sunday we will receive the Cavarretta family into our church by letter of transfer during our morning worship service. There is no need to bring dessert, since we will have a cake to celebrate their reception.

Blog Post

Charles Thomson (1729-1824)
Here I give a sketch of the life of Charles Thomson, the secretary of the Continental Congress that I mentioned in my sermon last Sunday. He was a Presbyterian, like twelve of the signers of the Declaration, and he had a remarkable life story.
