The decision to go was a mission trip in itself and took several weeks to gel. I was torn between my responsibilities at home and the call to go. Finally, I realized that ignoring God was not an option. Preparations began two or three weeks before departure and I have to admit that the lack of information and details about what we would be doing, where we would be staying and what the accommod...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:38:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=2207 Today was our last work day. It was bitter sweet. We are all very tired and miss our families and homes very much, but we also got to meet Denise and her grandson today. As Denise told the story of the 'storm' they went through, I think all 7 of our men were in tears. The darkness seems so dark at times. But, she was more upbeat than I would have guessed and is very grateful for the work we did this week. We got to pray for her and her new house and the hope of a new future. A...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Wed, 04 Apr 2012 22:57:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=2199 Today was interesting to say the least. The day started with some beutiful melodic harmonies of Ryan as he serenaded our boys awake. We then embarked on an adventure to Camp "Fisher's of Men." Well...the camp that will be a camp in a year or two. The owner of this land, has a vision to see young troubled teens coming here to learn about life in a different way. He says because his boy scout leader taught him way more than his dad ever did, he wants to do the same for these boys. ...READ MORE by clicking on the title above.

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:50:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=2180 Welcome Back. Today was a very good day. Our Team awoke early to these 2 wonderful ladies serving and cooking for us: We then shipped off to Meet our Contact Charles Dillon, who runs a ministry of disaster relief services (in New Orleans, Indiana, and Ft. Payne), called "Mercy Flows". He let us know that our trip this week though intended to be 'Sheds of Hope', will actually be a House of Hope. Though her house wasn't even touched by a tornado, we learned she has been hi...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sun, 01 Apr 2012 21:54:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=2170 Greetings to those keeping up-to date with our trip to Ft. Payne Alabama. Today was Palm Sunday and it truly was a day of rest and worship. But it was also April fools day, so while taking a shower my hot water was cut off and clothes taken away...in a outdoor shower. Things got interesting. But, time went on, we participated in Grace Prez's Sunday School (youth and adults). We then heard Ashley Dusenberry (the Assistant Pastor of Families) preach a wonderful sermon on 1 Cor. 15 ...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:13:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=2163 We Shipped off today with our group of (9). We had some changes in last minute, but the Lord had this group planned from before this year, before we decided to go to Alabama, before Covenant existed, before the world was created! So here we are from left to right (Back Row: Larry, Will, Alex, Jonathan, Paul, Chris, Front Row: Slim, Betty, and Jeanette). We took off in the morning, stopped for lunch in randomly in a bojangles parking lot, but the Lord continuing to show His providence h...READ MORE by clicking on the title above.

Here is why: The Message is a contemporary reading of the Bible from the original languages, crafted to present its tone, rhythm, events, and ideas in everyday language. Now, on the surface that sounds like someone is trying to create a new translation just as the NIV or ESV have done to get God's word into God's people's hearts...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Sun, 21 Aug 2011 17:19:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=981 Hey there- I just wanted to share with people visiting our church site about how incredible Family Fun Nights were this summer. Every other wednesday we gathered as a community for some delicious dinner (thank you jeannette!) and fellowship. When the clock sturck 6pm we were broken into multi-generational teams. It brought together groups of people that don't normally spend time together. The first night it was a battle to get people moving around and by the end people moved happily...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:23:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=305 Hello Reader, I don´t know if I am capable of keeping your attention for very long, but I´ll just speak form the heart. This is my first ever blog post - so please grant me grace as I grow. Ezekiel 3:1 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” I never thought of eating a book or a scroll, but over the years I have learned what this means. To eat a book means to really digest it, to consume it, t...READ MORE by clicking on the title above. Wed, 16 Mar 2011 20:34:01 -0500http://www.covpca.org/blog.php?blogID=287 We decided to add this link in hopes that instead of just sharing our various activites we can offer a more personal view of our church and church family. So, starting soon Pastor Ryan and various other writers will be sharing their thoughts. Come back again soon to check it out.
