In this special service, we ordained and installed Jon Hendrickson as a ruling elder and Roger Ayers and Justin Horne as deacons of Covenant Presbyterian. We also ordained Jason Glover as a teaching elder and a chaplain to the Army National Guard. Pastor John's sermon was "The Giver's Gifts" from Ephesians 4:1-16, and the hymns sung were "Brethren, We Have Met to Worship," Psalm 122, and "The Church's One Foundation." The choir also sang "Bless His Holy Name."

This Week's service included the sermon "Live with Christ," from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11, the eighth installment in our sermon series 1 & 2 Thessalonians: Every Grace Endued. The hymns for this week were "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name," Psalm 130, "Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It!," and "Soldiers of Christ, Arise." The offertory for this week was "Come, Come Unto Me," performed by members Amy Maurer, Carol Sue Clayton, and Director of Music Brandon Bolin.

In our unique Good Friday service, we combine passages that tell the story of Christ, from his arrest to his death, with singing passages from the psalms that point to or are referenced by Jesus during his crucifixion. The Covenant choir and handbell ensemble are also featured, and Pastor John brings a sermon from Psalm 22.

This Sunday, we were privileged to welcome Simon Arscott to preach in our service. Simon is the minister of All Nations Church in Ilford, England, and his sermon was from Nehemiah 8:1-18. The hymns for this week were "Worship Christ, the Risen King," Psalm 119 (verses 1-12), "I Will Sing of My Redeemer," and "Every Promise." The choir sang the hymn "Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain" for the offertory.
