Covenant Trust th Newsletter Pg. 7 (For BOTH worship & adult Sunday School w/ Link LunchNewsletter following to help kids to go to Lake Beauty) Pg. 8 February is known for many Lake Beauty Newsletter things. It is a month to remember Pg. 9-13 love for those who are closest to us. It is known for cold the West Central MNand Growing dead of winter. But here at Project NLECC, Pg. February 23rd , is African 13 Mission Sunday. We haveCalendar the Prayer/ Birthday privilegePg. of having old friends and 14 new acquaintances all for purpose of sharing how we can have a Activities Calendar significant on both the Pg.impact 15 Republic of Congo and Sudan in the heart of Africa on the other side of the globe. Congo missionary, Pete Ekstrand, will be here speaking and sharing on February 23rd BOTH during worship but also during the Adult Sunday School time. Pete Ekstrand actually worked here at NLECC in the 70s in youth ministries. It was with a program through the Covenant Denomination at the time. Added to this our church has long supported him and he has revisited us on many occasions. Pete will update us on the Covenant Kids This spring, it will be two years since we first shared a vision of being a Host Church for homeless families through a new venture called Family Promise. Well we have been hovering in a holding pattern since then, silent and working behind the scenes, waiting for the most opportune time to launch this new ministry opportunity. Well the mother organization at the county level has the three legs to the stool, as they call them, in place. An operating board of directors, 11 Host Churches (though they seek 2 more), and $90,000 in the bank which together will be the foundation to providing families shelter for each week of the calendar year here in Kandiyohi County. You don’t have to read very far or wide in God’s word to know he cares about the homeless, the poor and the sojourners. It actually is all over! Come on the 22nd and hear many passages which call out to God’s people to be people of justice and compassion. We need to have a heart for what moves the heart of God!! Well, I am all about a ‘hand up’ before a ‘hand out’ and this program delivers the goods in grace and with great community care. On Family Promise Sunday, February 22nd , we will share all about it during both services. The preaching will go in that direction along with the opportunity to hear from our Family Promise Coordinators, while viewing a DVD which gives you a great picture of the program. You will hear about the problem, the need AND how we here at NLECC can be part of the solution. We get to build relationships with those in need while getting a better picture of poverty and its results. Be praying for a role you can play to make this possible here at our church!! Come with an open mind and a compassionate heart. Remember a great commitment to the great commission and the great commandment makes for a great church!!

The passed-down, packaged Jesus turns out to be quite different from the one who steps alive and kicking out of the pages of Scripture. Author, pastor and radio teacher Chip Ingram outlines what it takes to follow this renegade Jesus toward the idea of Holy Ambition. Stretching outside of your comfortable existence is just the beginning. Dislocated hearts and broken spirits give way to radical, faith-filled strategies that equip you to truly make a difference for God right now 10:30 Adult SS Option: Gary Swenson DVD Class entitled 'Faith Lessons' a Ray Vander Laan's series Uncover the passion and commitment early believers displayed as they claimed Jesus in the face of fierce consequences and powerful adversaries.

Our Denomination believes membership should be based on new life in Christ which means all those seeking membership at ECC share their faith stories with our Elders. This is our true basis for who comes into membership… new life in Christ. However, we do require all seeking membership to attend the Inquires Class to hear more of our ministries, beliefs, history, core values and denominational distinctive previous to making this important decision. This is good for perspective members OR just those seeking more information about our church and denomination. Then those seeking to pursue membership are invited to share testimony with our Elders in late February TBD. Please prayerfully consider joining us in a greater way here at ECC. 4|Page More Church Happenings… Save the date!

There definitely would be a lot less mystery to it all if there were plenty of low risk, high return options to choose from. However, we must usually assume more risk with our investments in order to have the potential for a greater return. For example, high quality bonds generally carry less market risk than stocks -- but they usually offer a lower return. So while stocks tend to carry more market risk than bonds, that higher risk may create the potential for a higher return. The potential for a great return can be alluring but you can’t simply ignore the risk involved. Just the opposite is true. Not only should you be aware of the risk involved with your investments, you should also know how much risk you are comfortable assuming. This is called your risk tolerance. When determining your risk tolerance, consider these questions: • How soon will you need to cash in your investments? • How will a loss on your investment affect the rest of your finances? • If your investment loses money, can you afford to stick with the investment and wait for it to recover? If you determine that your risk tolerance is very low, it doesn’t mean you should avoid risk or shun investing altogether; not investing can be risky, too! Whether your tolerance is high, low, or somewhere in-between, you need an investment plan that properly reflects the level of risk you’re willing to take on. Additionally, remember that your risk tolerance can change over time or as your financial situation changes. As such, it’s a good idea to regularly assess your risk tolerance. Whether you’re new to investing or a long-time investor, Steve Allison, our local Field Service Representative, can help you determine your risk tolerance and discuss appropriate investment options for you. For more information, contact Steve at 877-768-1766 or email him at srallison@covenanttrust.com. Do these questions about risk and return raise even more questions for you? If so, we can help you get answers. Send your investment and personal finance questions to questions@covenanttrust.com.

Dear New London, Over the past many months, the Board of Directors of LBBC has been making plans to add onto the Dining Hall in order to provide the needed space for both Lake Beauty programs and for additional guest groups to host their events at LBBC. We had planned to start construction in the fall of 2014 but the Board met in August and decided to delay the start of construction in order to provide additional information to our member churches about the need for additional space and to raise some additional funds before the start of construction. We have continued to do fundraising and communicate the benefits that this addition will bring to camp. We have received additional funds for the project and, at this point, we have $82,449.69 in the bank. We still want to raise additional funds, but there is a critical need for the additional space as the ministries at Lake Beauty continue to grow. As such, the Board met in January to discuss the options and made a decision to authorize construction to begin early in the spring of 2015. There are a few churches who have taken on the challenge of holding a, "Kingdom Investment" Sunday where they spoke to their congregation about investing financially in this project. There are also several churches that are having their Kingdom Investment Sunday in 2015. With these additional churches taking on the challenge and others who have said that they will help support the project financially, we are moving ahead with construction. We have set up financing through our local bank with better than expected terms to provide the additional funds to make this building addition a reality. As we move ahead with the construction, there will also be many opportunity for those who would like to come and help construct this new building. Our plan right now is to get the foundation in and the building framed by contractors to complete that work in a timely manner. The closing in and the finish work will be done with as much volunteer labor as we can get, which we trust will be most of it. There will be significant 12 | P a g e opportunities for those who are gifted in the building and finishing aspect of construction, and your help will be just as beneficial as those who have contributed their financial resources to make this happen. For every person who comes and helps build, we will avoid paying to have this work done. It is also a great opportunity for fellowship and to create ownership in this project and in LBBC as there is something very special about sweat equity in the camp. This building addition is the greatest facility need that Lake Beauty has at this time, it is consistent with our campus master plan and it will significantly enhance our capacity for additional ministry. Please share this update with others in your church community and continue to encourage individuals to make a "Kingdom Investment" through a financial contribution to this project and/or a commitment to come and share their construction and finishing talents when that help is needed. Thank you! If you have any questions or comments - Please contact Brian Alnes - brian@lbbc.com or 320-219-3199 or Paul Zahasky Board Chair at zumbro@lbbc.com . These are exciting times for LBBC!!
