Covenant Contribution

When we baptize an infant, we aren’t just witnesses - passive bystanders while God makes amazing promises.  We are there making our own set of promises.  God will do much of his work in that child’s life through you and me.  Specifically, here is what we commit to: Do you, people of the Lord, promise to receive this child in love, pray for him/her, help instruct him/her in the faith, and encourage and sustain him in the fellowship of believers?  There are many ways to keep this promise, but here is a very practical one: share a Sunday morning with our covenant children.

Giving a few Sundays a year to support our children’s faith nurture ministries is an excellent way to make a covenant contribution.  By spending just an hour or less with our children, you are tangibly and powerfully keeping the promises we’ve made to them at their baptism.  You’ll know better how to pray for them and encourage them in the future.  Courtney Wolffis will be in the Commons after church next Sunday to talk to you about participating.  Please consider this opportunity to make a covenant contribution.  You can also email Courtney for more information: courtney@ferrysburgchurch.com.
