Welcome to worship this morning, we are so glad to be able to offer online connection for those who cannot be in person this morning. Today is a communion sunday and we invite you to participate during that portion of the service with the elements you have available to you.

Pastor Barry's Message today is titled "Be Praying for Open Doors" with scripture from Colossians 4:2-3 and Acts 16:11-15

Hello Community

We want to invite you to any and all of the opportunities in our church. In Stillman there are two other wonderful churches with strong pastors and teaching and if you are looking for a church we certainly would recommend Red Brick or Kishwaukee Community.

We want you to connect to a church for you and your family that you can grow in faith and relation with our Lord Jesus. That is our number 1 aim for you. In the Evangelical Covenant Church there is an approach which we practice daily. The approach is to ask: "Where is it written?" This leads us to join together to walk with God's Word as the central authority of our lives. We don't agree 100% on every topic but we approach all of life in this manner.

We invite you to stop by. Listen, observe, and be loved. Kids ministry is a top priority as is adult teaching.

Feel free to send Pastor Barry Norris any questions you might have at [email protected] or simply stop in and let's talk over coffee/tea.

God bless.

Hi All

Valley Covenant needs YOUR HELP in spreading the word to our neighbors in Stillman Valley and beyond concerning our Mini FoodPantry.

This is a 24 hour, 7 day a week pantry for ALL who are needing help and differs from the monthly Bread of Life ministry.

This picture is from the restocked refrigerator just today.

This pantry is not just to be provided for by the Covenant Church. Anyone who desires to give in this manner is free to participate. We view this as a COMMUNITY ministry which we happen to host.

Please pass the news of these provisions along.

In Christ
Pastor Barry Norris for our Missions Team
