Believe Conference a Success!

We had an awesome time in St. Charles, MO this past weekend at the Believe Conference. 20 students and 6 adults from Covenant Chapel took the 4 hour drive to experience a great time of worship, meaningful messages, awesome performers and a good time of hanging out and playing. The theme of the weekend was CONNECT; how God longs to connect with us and specifically how He has given us the ability to connect with Him through LISTENING, SPEAKING, and LOOKING. Check out the link below for pictures from the event. I can't wait until next year!

Souper Bowl of Caring a success!

Thank you to all that donated to the Souper Bowl of Caring food drive we had last week. We were able to donate 300 cans of soup to the Village Food Pantry. A group of us delivered the soup on Monday and got a tour of the facility. These people do a wonderful job of providing for those in need! We were able to pray with one of the staff members there and lift up the needs of the Food Pantry and the community to the Lord. This is a ministry that we intend to help continuously, so if you have never been there before, we'll take you with us next time! Thanks to Jake, Ali and Nicole for taking the time to help us out! You are awesome. And thank you to all the students who helped make banners and boxes and also manned the table on Sunday morning.
