This Sunday we officially start a tradition: It's our 2nd year of "Love Burnsville" where we suspend our normal weekend worship services and instead go out into the community to do service worship- raking leaves. It may not seem like much, but by establishing this new tradition, we build on a legacy and reputation that has been established over the 50 years of Jesus Christ at work in and through Faith Covenant. That reputation can be heard in a recent quote from a Burnsville city official who remarked to a staff member, "I hear that you are the church that does things to help the city."
Praise God that we have been given an opportunity in Love Burnsville to show people the love of Jesus and let our worship and our witness come together and bless the city! Here are some key details to help prepare us for this Sunday October 28, 2012:
• For those who wish to attend, there will be a 9am service Pastor John is leading. It will include worship through hymns and a concert of prayer invoking God's blessing, protection, and guidance over our cities and nation.
• If you have not signed up for a raking team or other assignment, come to the church at 10:30am. We will place you on a raking team or find a spot for you to help cover the service worship with prayer in the prayer chapel.
• Do come prepared for the cold temps, and get a free Love Burnsville t-shirt to throw over your sweatshirt or coat.
• There is still a need for more volunteers with flatbed trailers to haul leaves Sunday and/or Monday morning as well (please call the church office, 952-890-31110 and ask for Pastor John if you can help with this need).
Don't miss this amazing opportunity to live into our vision, "the good news of Jesus renewing hearts, homes, and cities."
-Pastor John Foley
