The Gospel Changes Everything:  

  

This Sunday's Study:  

How Soon We Forget: Why Christians Forget the Gospel

We will also survey interest for scheduling  upcoming topics from samples below. 

 

Beginning this Sunday, January 19 at 9:30 in the Worship Space at our Plank Rd location, Pastor Bill will begin a new group for interaction, Bible Study and discussion and fellowship.  It is designed to give us a chance to study and interact on a number topics and questions that we all face in life.  Sort of like a class.  Sort of like a missional community.  Sort of like a Question & Answer session.  It combines all of those formats to make one significant growth experience.

  

Sample Format:

• 5 minute Warm Up
• 25 minute Content Presentation - teaching, Q & A, media clips, panel discussions, interviews
• 15 minute Breakout Groups

Sample Topics:

• What do you mean by "Gospel-Centered"?
• What is so different about "Gospel-Centered" from anything else?
• Conversations With Our Culture:
• LGBT issues
• Abortion
• Internet Pornography
• Sorting Through Scripture:
• Women as Elders
• Baptism
• Communion
• Leaving Dispensational Theology Behind
• The Bankruptcy of Prosperity Theology
• The Why of How We Worship
• Deep Church
• New City Catechism
• Membership With Christ Covenant    

We are slowly building a small group of volunteers to help out with child care during this time.  We could certainly use a couple more, and it would help to lighten the load for those already helping out.  Contact Allison Webb by email if you are able to join the rotation for child care.  Thanks in advance! 

Many Thanks!

Mary Lynn and I would like to say "THANKS!" to all of Christ Covenant for the Christmas gifts received this year.  A cash gift from the congregation was received and is appreciated.  Green is a great color and it fit perfectly!  We're thankful for the calling to serve with the body of Christ Covenant here in Fredericksburg, and appreciate this kind expression.

Learn the Catechism:
One Question per Week

Each week we'll be posting a question and answer from the New City Catechism, along with a brief video explanation. 

Question 3: How many persons are there in God?

Answer: There are three persons in the one true and living God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are the same in substance, equal in power and glory.

NCC Q3: How many persons are there in God?

Perspectives Course Meets Wednesdays

EPC Presbytery of Mid-Atlantic

Pastor Bill will be traveling to Monroe, NC next week for the winter meeting of our Presbytery from Thursday to Saturday.  This includes time of worship, concert of prayer, missional training, oversight and ministry planning with EPC churches in North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.

Christ Covenant and the Presbytery celebrate the recent decision by a 270-6 vote of Spotsylvania Presbyterian Church to transfer their affiliation to the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, a process that should complete some time near Easter.  This means there will be two EPC churches in Spotsylvania County to advance the Kingdom of God!
