4 SCRIPTURE Genesis 22:9-17(NKJV) 9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham! So he said, Here I am. 12 And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me. 13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; [a] as it is said to this day, In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided. 15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 4

5 CHURCH COVENANT LEADER: CONG: LEADER: CONG: LEADER: CONG: LEADER: ALL: Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the LORD Jesus Christ as our Savior; and on the profession of our faith we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into this covenant with one another as one body in Christ. We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness; to give it a place in our affections, prayers and services above every other organization of human origin. To contribute cheerfully and regularly as God has prospered us, toward the support of the ministry, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study the word of God; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance. To walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our service. We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort each other unto every good word and work; to guard each other s reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each other s joys, bear one another s sorrows; and to cultivate Christian courtesy; To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Savior to secure it without delay. When we remove from this place, we engage as soon as possible to unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God s word. 5

6 GLORY TO HIS NAME Down at the cross where my Savior died, Down where for cleansing from sin I cried, There to my heart was the blood applied Glory to His name. Refrain Glory to His name Glory to His name There to my heart was the blood applied Glory to His name. I am so wondrously saved from sin, Jesus so sweetly abides within; There at the cross where He took me in Glory to His name. O precious fountain that saves from sin, I am so glad I have entered in; There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean Glory to His name. Come to this fountain so rich and sweet, Cast thy poor soul at the Savior s feet; Plunge in today, and be made complete Glory to His name. 6

7 The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord. Leviticus 27:32 Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. If you earn You owe the Lord $10 $1 $50 $5 $75 $7.50 $100 $10 $200 $20 $500 $50 $700 $70 $1,000 $100 Special Giving Above Tithe and Offering March 6 March 13 March 13 March 20 March 27 Education Vision 2023 A Redeemed People Installation of Officers Deacon, Deaconess & Trustee Day Foreign Missions 7
