This Sunday at Covenant, October 22, 2017
Adult Sunday School-Seventh week of the Fall Quarter
At this time we offer three opportunities for learning on Sunday morning:
♦ Reformed Worship--Meeting in the N. Education building; Elder Jeremy Thomas teaching
This class will teach what God requires of His worshipers in congregational worship, both as individual believers and as a Gospel church. The Reformed Regulative Principle of Worship will be examined as taught in both the Old and New Testaments. Elements of worship as a means of grace, and the sacraments will also be studied. The Word of God is sufficient to regulate all of our lives; how much more so God's own worship. You are invited to attend, and please bring your Bibles. This class will not begin this Sunday, but will begin on September 10, 2017, due to our flooded Houston streets.
♦ New Members' Class--Meeting in the Pastor's Study; Senior Pastor Lou Veiga teaching
In this class, students will learn what every Christian is to know about belonging to a Presbyterian church. Why do we have a membership role in this church? Why are we required to vow to God in public that we believe His Gospel and will obey His teaching? Do I have to be Presbyterian in order to join this church? The class is based on the five questions posed to new members when they join. This class will not begin this Sunday, but will begin on September 10, 2017, due to our flooded Houston streets.

Our Pledge to Visitors: What You Can Expect If You Visit Us Next Sunday
We will worship God only as He has prescribed in His Holy Scriptures. We do not manipulate consciences or levy man-made rules and practices on the people of God. We love this liberty because the Son of God has made us free (John 8:36).
We will worship God by delivering His whole counsel to His people. We teach the whole of the Bible, because Jesus Christ has commanded us to teach it (Matthew 28:18-20).
We will preach sermons in consecutive order through entire books of the Bible without side-stepping the difficult texts (Acts 20:26, 27). We find harmony in the Scriptures; therefore we explain the meaning of the whole Bible and apply its teachings practically for your Christian walk.
We will not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus and Him crucified. We declare that we are bereft of any righteousness of our own. We freely confess our sin every week. But the good news is that God saves sinners and justifies the ungodly through faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 4:5). We glory in Christ and in the righteousness that is imputed to us through faith in Him (Philippians 3:8-10; Titus 3:5).

“This is the covenant I will make ... declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and
write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people” (Hebrews 8:10).
