Announcements
This Sunday, the Judges will be back to start a series called "Frantic Family". It comes from the book by Patrick Lencioni titled The Three Big Questions for a Frantic Family: A Leadership Fable About Restoring Sanity to the Most Important Organization in Your Life.
Our families are growing, kids are doing more activities, work is demanding more of us....as a group we can see frantic around the corner. This will be a great series to help us gain clarity around setting goals and plans for our families before we get too frantic. We look forward to seeing you at 8:30am.
Between services, take a few minutes to visit the Global Outreach Center, where church will be honoring Cindy Judge for her nine years of service to our Global Outreach ministry. Cindy retired on March 1 after serving 6 years as Global Outreach Director and then three years part-time as Education and Missionary Care Associate. Cindy will be at the Global Outreach Center throughout the morning, so please stop by and extend your thanks and best wishes … and enjoy some refreshments!
On Saturday evening, March 10th at 7:30pm, all Covenant guys (and any guests) are invited
to gather at the Adams' home to watch the movie Courageous. While it will be a great time of hanging out, this isn’t meant to be a warm and fuzzy event—this a huge opportunity for us to gather as men to encourage one-another to be better husbands and fathers and to lead our families as God intended us to. Please respond to Brian Adams if you can make it so he can plan for food and drink.
Lastly, it is the 1st Sunday of the month, so plan on joining us at Portillo's after the 9:45am service for some good food and fellowship.
