THE AWAKENING!!
THE AWAKENING is a huge effort by many churches in Washington County and beyond. We’ll have high quality communicators in town at LifeChurch July 12-14 with a Youth Awakening to follow July 15-17.
The God-given opportunity we have is the fact that the Whiskey Rebellion Festival overlaps the Awakening. We want to see many people out on the street during the Festival inviting people into the Awakening. One of the main elements here is actually hitting the streets and asking God to connect you with people to invite. There are also other roles that are needed as well so there’s something for everybody and you will be ready to plug in where God can use you. We will also need people for:
1. security
2. ushers and greeters
3. hospitality
4. altar workers / counselors
5. medical / emergency
6. media
7. intercessors
8. setup
9. teardown
10. armorbearers and drivers
11. childrens ministry workers ?
12. nursery workers ?
13. Worship /Sound /stage
LifeChurch is at the corner of Main and Chestnut in Downtown Washington PA.
As you can see, whatever your gifts are, God can use you to change lives forever.
God’s blessings,
Don Nixon, Director of Spiritual Development

POWER FOR DAILY LIVING
Dear friends:
I think most folks today are fairly stressed out in their life. We try to do more and more in less and less time. We “multi-task”. We use all our “labor saving devices” that really just make us more and more accessible to being contacted by others. We add more and more to our calendars and enjoy it less and less. We twitter and we tweet. But we do not rest and revive our souls.
Whether we are stressed or whether we are blessed is the direct result of whether we are trying to live our life in our own power or whether we are endeavoring to live our life in the power of the Holy Spirit.
When we walk in the Spirit we are blessed. When we walk in our own ways we are stressed. It is an easy way of checking our own “spiritual temperature”.
When we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit is within us, planted as a seed ready to bloom and grow in us. But it requires our invitation to be at work. It requires us to invite the Spirit to be at work in, around and through us. We already possess it in Christ but we need to invite it to be at work.
Beloved, there is POWER for daily living through Christ and in the POWER of the Holy Spirit. We can turn to HIM and ask for this Power to be at work in us. We can repent of our need to do what we do in our own power and ask God to do it in HIS Power.
Are you stressed? Or are you blessed? Pentecost in a nutshell!
Faithfully,
Dr. Stu Broberg
“Repent…and you shall receive the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2: 38

Church Closing Policy and/or Other Emergency Inclement Weather
The following is a policy for when The Church of the Covenant activities and worship services would be cancelled due to inclement weather and the process for how that decision would be made. Factors influencing the decision include: the safety of the members of the congregation; the ability of staff members to report in; the ability to clear the parking lot and steps for safety reasons; whether there is power, light and electricity; whether roads are clear; the closing policy of Trinity School District; and other factors.
I. Sunday Mornings:
In the event that inclement weather is predicted and especially under the circumstances where many other churches are cancelling their services the three pastors and the Clerk of Session would speak by phone and make the decision by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday the day before worship on Sunday. They would E-mail the Session advising them of the decision and the reasons for that decision.
The Church Administrator would contact the TV stations and WJPA for them to broadcast our closing as well as posting it on the church website. The church phone message then is updated with the closing information recorded.
If possible a sign is posted on the entry doors into the Commons area.
In addition to the Session E-mail, E-mails would be sent to the Deacons, the Fellowship of Concern, and the Director of Music would contact the choir, the Director of Children’s Ministry would contact the Sunday School Teachers (asking them to call students), the Youth Advisors would be contacted (the young people contacted by the advisors).
II. Weekdays:
In the event inclement weather is predicted and where the Trinity School District has cancelled classes for the following day the pastors would speak by phone and also include the Director of the Preschool in the decision to cancel all church activities for the following day. The preschool has its own policy and that is to follow the closing schedule of the Trinity School district. The pastors would consult with the preschool Director to make certain the closing decisions are in agreement.
In the event there are activities of general interest, such as Faith Night, where many people might be coming and we would not necessarily know who intends to attend, again the Church Administrator would contact the TV stations and WJPA for them to broadcast our closing as well as posting it on the church website. The church phone message then is updated with the closing information recorded.
In the event there are activities of specific and limited interest, (say, just one activity scheduled or just one committee meeting scheduled) a phone call would be placed to the leader/ chair and they and the staff rep would be asked to make phone calls to likely attenders. We would not broadcast our closing where it would only have limited effect and direct contact would be more effective.
