Let Me Introduce You
(The Grace Mailer)
 THIS week 2,400 post cards introducing Christ Covenant were mailed to neighborhoods surrounding our Plank Rd location. We will want to be prepared to "Welcome Well" any newcomers that arrive in response to these cards. Remember: The Gospel moves across relationships, not by postcards! The postcards only create an opportunity to meet a person, welcome them into a safe place to meet safe people so they can hear and see the Gospel of Grace at work in real lives.

On the (Imagined) Silent Gospel of St. Francis
From the Pastor's Blog
The Roman Catholic Church has a new pope - the first ever to take the name Francis - and American media outlets are filled with people extolling the St Francis - the 13th century figure - for his love of the poor, the environment and this quotation: "Preach the Gospel at all times. Use words if necessary." I guess two out of three is not bad for American media these days.
St. Francis never spoke those words that are so often attributed to him. It is as simple as that. Click Here for a great blog post - from July 11, 2012 no less - that deals with this matter. (Link repaired from last week)
In fact, St Francis' practice, and his encouragement for his followers was essentially the very opposite of the "Silent Gospel" approach. Check out the details in that blog post if this surprises you. ... Read the rest of Pastor Bill's blog here.
