Finally ~ A New Pastor

Well it's official! Covenant Alliance Church now has a Pastor! Horray.........

We've been without a pastor for almost 9 months now and our church is definitely in need of some new and exciting changes. Our church board members have been working steady at keeping things going within the church and they certainly deserve a lot of credit for ALL they've done in keeping things going, looking after the business of running the church, finding speakers, or filling in when there wasn't any, and being available to help when there was a need. Most of them work full time, several have young families, and they've all gone way and beyond their duties in working OVERTIME at this and in looking after all of the many things required to keep a church functioning. Next time you talk to one of them, let them know how much you appreciate what they've done.

Please come out Sunday Sept. 26th, 2010 in order to meet our NEW Pastor. Pastor Joe's sermon topic for that day will be "Waiting to Exhale ~ Excited to Inhale"

In life we can find ourselves either holding our breath to see what will happen or wanting to catch our breath because too much is happening. Those moments of exhalation can either be from finally seeing some conclusion through accomplishment or disappointment. In both scenarios, there is a next step that is needed - inhaling. Without it we aren't breathing and we die but we can determine what that inhalation means for our next step. For some it means getting a little more strength to put the head down and shoulder through a tough time. For others it means being excited and anticipating the future. Jesus breathed just like we do. He lived as we do. He struggled and celebrated like we do. He exhaled and inhaled. Be sure to come out next Sunday to hear how this means HOPE for our lives. 'Hope' that we can rest in and celebrate!

If you'd like to read something written by our new Pastor, Joe Fenton check out his blog. If you'd like to chat with him, check him out on Facebook and ask to be his friend. If you keep looking you can also find his lovely wife Tanya on Facebook as well.

We are certainly excited and looking forward to seeing what changes and blessings Joe & Tanya are going to bring to our church along with our great community and area surrounding Orangeville.

Why not come out and check us out!!
