More Songs and More Jesus

This Sunday

I’m looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday.  

Get ready because we are going to be singing a ton.  We have four hymns up to bat, two of which are by Martin Luther.  We’ll open with the classic A Mighty Fortress is Our God.  We’ll confess our need for Jesus using From the Depths of Woe—a Luther paraphrase of Psalm 130.  Then we’ll sing a new song to us, O Love of God How Strong and True.  Though new to us, it’s an oldie but goodie from Horatius Bonar (19th Century).  After the sermon we’ll bring back one we were learning last month as we sing, Jesus Cast a Look on Me.  

In the sermon we’ll continue to work our way through Luke—this week coming to a passage where Jesus helps us understand more of who he is and why he came.  

Are you Interested in Getting Involved?

If you are interested in getting involved in Christ Covenant make sure you talk to me.  We have two places where we are looking for more volunteers.  

Our nursery is one.  We are looking for at least 3 more teams of nursery workers so that we can open up a toddler nursery.  If you’d like to volunteer for the nursery, talk to Misha Brown.  

Also, if you are musically gifted and would like to help out with our music team, talk to Rob Bridges. 

The City is Coming

Don't forget that we are about to change how we do communication in Christ Covenant.  The City, our online community for encouraging connections, growth, and leadership development is almost up and running.  We're put the finishing touches on it now.  I can't wait to send out the invitations and show you around.  

Missionaries

If you were a missionary to Culpeper—which you are—you would be gearing up for a major summer of ministry.  Every society has its moments when people are more accessible than others.  For a growing, tourist friendly community like Culpeper, late Spring through early Fall is prime time for meeting folks.  Here are some possible places for you to go and meet folks.
  1. Your neighborhood.  Warm weather brings people outdoors.  Pick a time of day to spend outside being available.  Maybe sit in a chair by the sidewalk or choose a consistent time for a leisurely stroll.  Then look for people to meet.  Love on your neighborhood by making time to meet the people who compose it. 
  2. Your community.  Attend community events.  Buy a subscription to the Star Exponent or go to their website to keep informed on what community events are coming up.  
  3. Local Establishments.  Go to the same stores and local eateries.  Learn the names of the people that work there.  Let them know that you're glad that their business is in this town and that you want to support it.  It's difficult being a local business owner, let them know you appreciate them.  And if its a restaurant, tip well!
Be creative in how you meet folks.  And don't forget to lift Him up.
