The sermon this Sunday, Called and Empowered to Serve, is from Mark 1:4-11. We will consider the implications of Jesus' baptism on our own discipleship. During the service we will ordain and install new elders. After the final hymn we will have the Congregational Meeting this Sunday during worship. The session will present information about the budget for 2012 and any changes in the terms of the call of the pastor will need to be approved. The annual reports may be read here. The treasurers/financial information will be distributed on Sunday morning.
New Covenant's annual Church Officer Enrichment event returns Saturday, January 21, 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at St. Andrew's Presbyterian, Houston. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. This will be a time of equipping, enrichment, and encouragement for all Church Officers, both those newly ordained or with years of experience, for their calling of spiritual leadership in a changing world. Workshops will help officers and pastors to be better prepared to live out their responsibilities as officers and leaders. Participants may choose to attend two learning options in addition to the thought-provoking keynote presentation by Ted Bolsinger. Here is Workshop Information and here is where you may Register.
Our Christian sympathy is with Teresa Darr's as they mourn the passing of her father last weekend. We are also remembering in prayer those in the hospital: Lelia Agar, Johnny Dyson, Marjie Knight and Helen Roby who was recently hospitalized. In addition, Ed Garza will soon have surgery.
Peace,
Pastor Jon
