Hello Faith Covenant Family!
I’m writing to you this morning from McGregor, MN and Covenant Pines Bible Camp. The air is crisp (aka cold), the leaves are colorful, and the Junior High students are bringing life into a usually quiet camp.
You know what I love about junior high kids? Their passion. Junior High kids don’t just like something, they LOVE it (or hate it…we usually aren’t sure which…). That’s why it’s so important to do things like get away for a weekend at camp to focus on their relationship with God. Because we want to create environments and opportunities for the passion of our young people to be correctly aimed at Jesus.
Where is your passion aimed? How much passion do you have in your relationship with Christ? If you don’t have any passion when you think about Christ, what happened? And what can you do to get it back?
We would appreciate your prayers for our students this weekend (Junior High Oct 16-18; Senior High Oct 18-20)!
Here are some things coming soon at Faith Covenant:
Love Burnsville
Faith Families: make a note to attend the single worship service at 9:30am on October 27! There will be NO 11:00 SERVICE ON OCTOBER 27. Instead, starting after the conclusion of the 9:30 service, we will have service worship by raking leaves for people in our community who need a little help. You can join by being on a raking team, being on the prayer/missions team, or by watching our youngest children while older children and parents rake. Sign up in the lobby this Sunday!
Love Burnsville Details for Children’s Ministry/Childcare:
There will be regular children's programing (ages 0-5th grade) during the 9:30 service only On October 27. During the Love Burnsville segment we will offer childcare up through age 5 for the families who are participating. Please RSVP to Erin Foley at [email protected] with child's name and age. Parents please have a cellphone turned on and accessible at all times so that we can reach you easily. Please drive separately to your raking location, so you can leave if needed and arrive on time for pick up. Pick up time is at 1pm. A lunch of grilled cheese sandwiches, chips and pudding will be served to your child(ren). Please bring your own snacks or lunch if your child has special dietary needs. We will be bringing the older children outside to play, so please dress them warmly and bring a jacket with them! Thank you so much for your help in making Love Burnsville a great day!
