Phoenix
Area - MiniCelebration
Hope Covenant Church

A PSWC MiniCelebration
will be held at Hope Covenant Church (1770 S. Dobson Rd, Chandler) for
Phoenix area Covenant churches on Sunday May 18th from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
The purpose of this gathering is to celebrate what God is doing in and through
Covenant churches in the Phoenix area. Modeled after the PSWC Celebration held
every April, each service will feature worship, ministry stories, inspirational
preaching, and an update on PSWC ministries. An offering for Advancing the Mosaic,
the PSWC fund drive, will be taken. Light refreshments will be provided following
by the host church. John
Teter, church planter of Fountain of Life Covenant Church in North Long Beach
will be the guest speaker. He is passionate about evangelism, leadership, and
serving those on the margins of society. In 2003 John served as a guest speaker
on evangelism at Urbana. He and his wife, Becky, have a beautiful two year-old
daughter, Joy. |
Celebration
brings joy into life and joy makes us strong. The reality of this joy
has permeated the three miniCelebrations held thus far in the Pacific Southwest
Conference at Good Samaritan Community Covenant Church/Valley Springs, Marin Covenant
Church/San Rafael, and Montecito Covenant Church/Santa Barbara. Participants have
shared in offering praise and thanksgiving for God's wondrous deeds in and through
ministries of Covenant churches in their respective geographic areas as well as
the larger mission region, the PSWC. A call to pray has been central to the celebrations
with a conviction that prayer is both life-creating and life-changing.
