6/1/2025 With All Our Heart

This Sunday is the first week of our "Greatest Hits" sermon series during which Andy and I will (re)preach some favorite sermons that we've preached during our time at Covenant. To kick off the series, Pastor Katelyn Gordon Cooke is  preaching a sermon from early November 2022. We had just started our "Heart and Home" stewardship campaign, which included our annual stewardship campaign for 2023 as well as a three-year Home Improvement Plan.

In the Friday email on November 4, 2022, I wrote, "There's a well-known quote from Teresa of Avila that goes, 'Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion upon the world.' It's also true that we are an extension, an expression of God's heart in the world, and that's what we're exploring together in worship this Sunday as part of our conversations about stewardship of time, talent, and treasure." This is still true for us today,
