Welcome to Roseville Covenant Church!

Isaac Newton's laws of physics don't just describe objects in space, but they can be used to describe the life of institutions like the church. Bodies in motion tend to stay in motion and bodies at rest tend to stay at rest. Congregations are similar.  In the heart of the gospels Jesus often told his followers, "Go!" Look for new places to proclaim the good news and help the hurting (Matthew 9:35-38; Luke 10:1-3). When we forget that church is a movement and a mission, it can become difficult to rebuild momentum for trying new work for the kingdom and reaching new people with the gospel.

This week we welcome the Rev. Scott Nelson as our guest preacher. Scott is Associate Superintendent of the Northwest Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church (our local denominational branch), and a large part of his work is helping mobilize congregations for developing leaders, missional movement, and church planting ("sending workers for the harvest"). He will bring us a word this week to encourage our reaching out.
