San Jose Covenant Churches Share Worship - December 27, 2009

Two days after Christmas, the four San Jose Covenant Churches; New Life Covenant Church, Alum Rock Covenant Church, Church of Philadelphia, and The Bridge Community Church, gathered together at Willow Glen Middle School to celebrate in worship and explore more deeply our partnership in the Gospel.

These four churches serve different communities and have very different histories, but together, they are unified in serving the Gospel and the community of San Jose. This is a partnership of celebration, of prayer, of connection, of encouragement, and of challenge.

The entire service was a shared experience. Each pastor prepared part of the service and the worship team was a blend from New Life and The Bridge, while our Children's ministries met together and prepared kits for the homeless of San Jose. Even our offerings partnered this Sunday as we collected food and gave a special offering for Second Harvest Food Bank.

Looking forward, each of the pastors expressed their desire to come together again, and all are looking forward to adding new church plants to San Jose in the coming year so that this partnership might continue to grow and to reach out with Christ's love for this valley.
