Lift Him Up

Getting Involved

I frequently wish I had a venue to thank all of you that help with Christ Covenant.  The perennial difficulty of giving thanks is always the fear of leaving someone out.  So I wanted to take a second to thank you all for what you do for our church plant.  You know who you are.  Whether you do big public tasks or small things that no one will ever know about, thank you from this church planter's heart. 

Part of my job as a pastor is to equip you to do the work of the ministry (Eph 4:12).  The main way I do that is through my teaching and preaching ministry.  As we study the Bible together each week I hope our God is revealing to you the ways he has made you to serve our church and community.  As he does, know what an encouragement it is to me to see your grace motivated, Jesus exalting, God glorifying acts of service.

Away Next Week

Hallie and I will be away next week at a church planting conference in Durham, NC.  Pray for our safe travel and time at the conference.  Because I won't have time for sermon prep next week, I've asked Rev Shawn Slate to come and preach on Sunday, May 2nd.  Shaw is the RUF minister at UVA.  If you're unfamiliar with RUF or RUF at UVA you can check out their websites to find out more:

• Reformed University Fellowship
• RUF at the University of Virginia

Don't forget to check out our website to find out how you can move forward with the membership process. 

I can't wait to see you all this Sunday.  Keep lifting him up!
