Springs Covenant Group Ministries March '09 Update

Building Up the Family of God

"'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and
intelligence. ' This is the most important, the first on any list.
But there is a second to set alongside it:
'Love others as well as you love yourself.'”
~ Matthew 22:37-40 (MSG)

It’s the season of Lent ~ the period from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday

It’s the season of Lent ~ the period from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. It is a time of preparation for Holy Week, which recalls the events preceding and during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigor during Lent are:

Prayer (justice towards God),

Fasting (justice towards self), and

Almsgiving (justice towards neighbor)

Might this also be a time for you to consider taking another step in your faith journey by joining a Covenant Group? There is always room to grow, both within the existing groups and by creating new groups. There are eight groups meeting on a regular basis to provide through intentional fellowship an atmosphere to nurture one another spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Each group is unique, choosing its own study materials and developing its own meeting style as they seek to learn more about Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Missions.
