Dear Cove@Chase Friends,
I'm still abuzz from our Easter celebration on Sunday! Through Jesus we have "Victory" over evil, sin and
death. And because of the "Victory" of Easter, Jesus is able to resurrect anything and everything in your
life. We will be talking about just that this Sunday as we begin a NEW series called "It's Not Over."
Whatever you thought was "over" in your life can be turned around by our God who "is able to do
immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..."
(Ephesians 3:20).
Invite someone to join you this Sunday who needs to be reminded that no matter how bad it seems, with
God "It's Not Over."
Grace & Peace,
Stephen

~Christianity & Culture Event
Sunday, April 14, 7:00 pm
Hampton Cove Worship Center
Have you ever wondered how the Christian faith could actually stand up to contemporary culture? Do you
sense a tension between what you want to believe from the pulpit on Sunday and what you are exposed
to out in the "real world"? Perhaps you'd just like to strengthen your faith and be a positive influence on
those around you. Then please come hear Greg Koukl, noted radio personality and adjunct professor of
Apologetics at Biola University, speak at our Christianity and Culture event. Greg is animated by the
conviction that Christianity and Christian values, if properly understood and properly articulated, can
“stand to reason” in the public square. For more information on Greg and his ministry visit www.str.org.
Families welcome. Save the date!
