Officer Nominations in January
Officer Nominations are now open! Would you prayerfully consider who you believe could serve our church well as an elder or deacon? Through these offices Christ rules and shepherds his church. All nominees must be male and a member of our church for at least two years by his election (June 2025). The nomination form gives additional attributes of elder and deacon to consider as you are thinking of men to nominate. Nomination forms are available online at https://christcovenant.org/online-officer-nomination-form/ or at the Guest Center in the main lobby. Nominations will be received until Sunday, January 26. Thank you!
Christopher Yuan at Christ Covenant in January
Dr. Christopher Yuan is coming to Christ Covenant on Sunday, January 26, to speak at a combined Sunday School and during our evening worship. We will also have a time of Q&A for about 45 minutes after evening worship with Christopher Yuan.
Dr. Christopher Yuan’s speaking ministry on faith and sexuality has reached five continents. He has co-authored with his mother their memoir, Out of a Far Country, which is in multiple languages. Dr. Yuan’s second book, Holy Sexuality and the Gospel, was named 2020 Book of the Year for Social Issues by Outreach Magazine. Christopher has just produced The Holy Sexuality Project, a first-of-its-kind video series to help parents and grandparents to empower their teens to understand, embrace, and celebrate biblical sexuality.
Christopher will share his testimony from Out of a Far Country, which is his testimony of a gay son’s journey to God and a broken mother’s search for hope. He will also speak about sexual identity and false identity. You can learn more about Christopher Yuan at https://christopheryuan.com/. We hope you will make plans to join us.
Read Through the Bible in 2025
We are excited to provide you with an opportunity to read through the Bible together in 2025. While there are numerous Bible reading plans available, our church leadership selected Paul Tripp’s Bible reading plan, “Everyday Gospel.” If you are looking for a devotional to accompany this reading plan, Paul Tripp wrote “Everyday Gospel: A Daily Devotional Connecting Scripture to All of Life.” Additionally, Tripp has put together the “Everyday Gospel Bible” which contains both the Scripture reading and devotional for the day. Both can be found in our book nook in the main lobby and are available for purchase. We also encourage you to let us know if you will be participating in this program in 2025. We will be sending out regular emails of encouragement to help you as you read through the Bible. To sign up, learn more, and find a printable version of the Bible reading plan, visit https://christcovenant.org/bible-reading-plan-in-2025/. We will have free Bible reading plans available for you to pick up in all the lobbies next week.
