“He remembers His covenant forever.”

Psalm 111:5

COVENANT NEWS EASTER WEEKEND AT COVENANT-Thank you to the team who worked to coordinate the special services for both Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Please do note that we will not hold Sunday evening service today.

VIRTUAL YOUTH GROUP– Our Covenant youth will continue to meet via a “Zoom” call this week. Look for an email invitation to “join the meeting” and contact Ed ‘t Hart at edwardjthart@gmail.com if you have questions or want to request an invitation.

REFORMED YOUTH CONFERENCE is June 15-20th; camp infor-mation is available at reformedyouthconference.com. Covenant is also offering partial scholarships. Be in touch with Tracy Wells for those details at smiley8kids@gmail.com.

NEW ONLINE GIVING OPTION– We’ve added an easy online giving “button” to the “Donate” page of the Covenant website. In partnership with the well-respected Tithe.ly platform, Covenant can now accept almost “instant” payments. Of course, you’re still welcome to mail tithes and offerings or use your bank's online bill-pay option.

STAYING IN TOUCH- The elders and deacons are available to serve you and, during this time where we’re physically distant, want to keep abreast of needs within the congregation. If you need help connecting to leadership, please call the church.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES– Many of our schedules have shifted significantly. If you find yourself with extra time, there are many small services with which we need help. If you would be willing to help (from a proper social distance) please contact our Admin Assistant Brett Caruso.

Q: What are God’s works of providence?

A: God’s works of providence are, his most holy, wise, and powerful

preserving and governing all his creatures, and all their actions.

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Matthew 6:9-13

for Morning Service April 12, 2020

As a Teacher of Sin

Leader: Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

People: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Leader: Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in his commands!

People: Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.

Leader: And God spoke all these words:

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. .

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.

On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

People: Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

Leader: Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or any thing that belongs to your neighbor.

People: If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
