Dear Brothers and Sisters In Christ,
We are blessed these days in so many ways by our Lord Jesus Christ. He is with us in the midst of our daily personal trials using them to contribute to our growth in persevering faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This coming Sunday, September 27 we will begin a new series on the Book of James.
James was written by the blood brother of the Lord Jesus Christ who became a follower of his earthly brother the Lord Jesus Christ. By the rich grace of God James trusted in Jesus Christ as His Savior and Lord.
The book of James teaches us how real faith works itself out in a life of devotion and obedience to Jesus Christ in daily life. This coming Sunday we will look together at James 1:1-4.
May the Lord draw us closer to Christ and deepen our life of practical devotion to Him as we study the Book of James together.
In Christ's Love,
Pastor Frank

Covenant Continues Limited In-Person Worship Services
We are now open for a limited in-person worship service each Sunday. The service time has temporarily been changed to 10:00am Sunday morning.
Those attending should arrive by 9:40 if possible to be allow time to be seated in the sanctuary. We continue to request mask use and social distancing, as ordered effective August 1, 2020 by Wisconsin Governor Evers.
We are grateful that we are able to gather together for worship, and hopefully other activities soon. We have resumed celebration of the Lord's Table at the church on the first Sunday of the month. The procedures are modified to keep any possiblity of transmssion of the virus to a minimum.
Whether or not you can meet with us in person, many expenses continue for the church. If you are a member of the local Covenant family, and if you are not already doing so, please give as you are able at this time, based upon your current income level. Even if you cannot attend in person, you can still give by check, including a notation as to whether it is designated for General, Deacons, Building, etc. If you normally give to the Building Fund only when the special offering is taken, please send it in as a separate gift, because we have not been able to take up special offerings since March. Your offerings can be mailed to the church at any time. Thank you! This will be a great help, and we know the Lord will supply in His own way!
