Covenant Update

Dear Covenant Family:

Yesterday was a great and very patriotic service at Covenant.  We had 25 attendees and attached is the bulletin from the service.  You can see the major focus of the entire service was on the celebration of our Independence Day.  Tina summed up the day with a very motivational sermon on Keeping America Great.  She documented that the greatness of America evolved because our heritage was based on being a Christian society following God always, and that it is critically important that we continue to live and show our Christian beliefs, and to continue to share God with others.

Note that Tina also included a July 4 History Test in the bulletin.  If you would like to try your luck at this test, feel free and the correct answers are provided at the bottom of this message.  Good luck, it is not easy!!

We had some sad news to report on Sunday, that Edwina Hope was in the ICU at North Florida Regional Hospital after being found unresponsive in her bed Saturday morning.  As of our church service yesterday, the doctors had still not diagnosed the problem.  The good news is Sunday we got a report from the family that she was diagnosed with a severe infection in her gut that should, hopefully, be treatable.  Please keep Edwina and her family in your prayers as she works to recover from this situation.

Next Sunday, July 11, we will have Don Mason with us to lead our service.  Then on July 18 we will have Richard Parker again.  Don Mauldin has been away on vacation so we have not been able to meet with him yet to complete an agreement for him to serve as our next Pastor.  We hope to do so in the following 2 weeks and we hope that Don Mauldin will officially begin his service as our Pastor on July 25.  We will update you if this plan changes in any way.

I wish all of you a very blessed week!  Stay safe from the hurricane!!

Ron
