Covenant Renewal 2013
Several times through the history of Israel, the Family of God would reassess their life with God and respond with a time of "Covenant Renewal." It was not a change in their faith or identity. They were God's People because of His grace. It was instead a purposeful and renewed step deeper into their faith and identity as Children of God.
This is a practice we have built in from the very beginning at Christ Covenant. Covenant Renewal: a time to review, assess, "look forward" into the year ahead and then prayerfully set "grace goals" for our life in Christ.
This year we will again focus on three areas:
- Bible Reading
- Prayer
- Service
As part of our worship on Sunday, January 20 we will have opportunity to respond to God's grace with our own goals for 2013. Click Here for a downloadable 2013 Grace Goal form.
