On Sunday I reflected on Covenant's connection as a family. How we seek to support each other, encourage each other, work alongside and for each other, and live in relationship with each other.

Today I'd like to invite you to consider (or realize for the first time) that we, as a family, are only a part of an extended family. Certainly, at a grand level, we are the extended family of every follower of Jesus. But more specifically, we at Covenant are a family with our Be In Christ Church of Canada family and our BIC family around the world. We share a common history, roots, and values which bind us together in a unique and special way.

If you aren't familiar with Be In Christ Church of Canada, you can explore who were are here:  www.beinchrist.ca.

But today I'd really like to invite you to explore what Covenant is a part of globally. Each year we pass along 10% of our annual offerings to our denominational family headquarters. This money is used to help serve our Canadian churches and to do work through BIC Canada-Global. BIC Canada-Global works with, and on behalf of, local congregations to extend the peace of Jesus around the world through partnerships in Central and Southern Africa, South East Asia, and Central and South America.

Please take a few minutes today or tomorrow to visit beinchrist.ca/global-projects/. There you can read more about what we, along with our extended Be In Christ Church of Canada, are a part of around the world!
