Our New Church-wide Blog!

Have you been to our church web-site recently? It’s all NEW – much more helpful, and much more user-friendly. Take a few minutes and check it out. It's the same place, www.covfel.org with a new look.

In concert with the new web site we are making a significant change in our blog. We’re going church-wide. Over the past few months as we’ve seen how the blog has served our families and marriages so well, and how the use of it continues to grow, we’ve thought that this tool could be helpful for the whole church as well. So, beginning Monday, March 2, the Family Life Blog will become the CFC Blog.

How will things change? We’ll still have the same purpose to ‘engage, inform, and inspire’ the people of Covenant Fellowship. And we’re still going to work with our format of focusing on a different area of life each day during the five day week. But in order for it to serve the church beyond our Family Life Ministry, here’s the new daily line-up.

Monday: The Pastor’s Study. Jared will be taking over this day, offering his thoughts on stuff that matters. He may draw in other pastors on this as well. And we’ll continue to have occasional ‘wisdom for the week’ segments with significant quotes to stir your soul.

Tuesday: Tuesday at the Fivebucks. Tuesdays remain dedicated to the women. But now we’ll also include the perspectives of some of the single ladies in the church as well.

Wednesday: Family Day. We’re combining our Wedded Wednesdays and Family Fridays into one day called Family Day. Please note that we’ll continue to have things on parenting and marriage showing up in our Tuesday and Thursday posts as well.

Thursday: Take Five. Thursdays are the domain of the guys, but we’ll be including some single brothers into the blog mix.

Friday: Mission Friday. We’re really excited about this new day. There is so much that happens in the church that is fruit of the advance of the Gospel that we don’t have time to share in other forums. So we wanted to dedicate a day each week to celebrate and explore what God is doing both here and at times beyond our church. For example, we’ll have a chance to highlight some of the amazing stories from the recent Covenant Mercies medical E-team to Uganda, to report on the upcoming college age New Orleans E-team, to highlight the effect of Gospel Outreaches, Second Saturdays, Alpha, etc. You’ll learn the stories of people arrested by the Gospel. And, of course, with Dave Harvey in residence, we’ll have access to cutting edge thinking and action in the world of church planting and missions.

This all begins next Monday. You can access the new blog either by clicking on the CFC Blog Icon on the home page, or going to the “Resources” drop down menu. Please pass the word around. There are a gazillion blogs out there. This is the only one for CFC by CFC. The CFC Blog.
