Help send a child to Bible Camp!

The goal of the Annual Wild Game Dinner is to influence at least ONE youth’s life to make a decision to follow Christ.

We ask God to bless our efforts so that just ONE soul, ONE life, ONE spirit comes into the Kingdom of God through their experience at Lake Beauty by attending a Bible Camp. Some of the relationships made there last a lifetime. Would you please help us to be able to finance that ONE kid to go to camp this summer?

Easter Service

March 27 ~ 10 am (no classes on March 27)

from Pastor Keith Meyer

“Come and see…Jesus” – This is our Lent theme for sermons in the Gospel of

John which started the Sunday after Ash Wednesday and extend to Easter. Jesus and his disciples, Andrew and the Samaritan woman at the well, also invite others with the same phrase, “Come and see.” Jesus’ invitation to life with him is presented to us by the characters in John’s account of Jesus’ life:

2/28 – Nicodemus the Pharisee and the Samaritan woman at the well 3 / 6 – the crippled man stuck by the pool and a woman about to be stoned 3/13 – the man blind from birth and Lazarus cut down in the prime of life 3/20 – Mary, extravagantly anointing Jesus and Judas cheaply betraying him 3/27 – Thomas the doubter and Peter the failure.

Our Good Friday interactive service will concentrate on the Gospel of John’s account of the crucifixion and you don’t want to miss worship on Palm Sunday.

Membership at Hope - If you have been considering membership at Hope Covenant, please let Pastor Keith know or call Janelle and let her know. When we find out all who are interested, we will schedule the Membership Class. We also have some new members transferring their membership from other Covenant churches! Pastor Keith
