FAMILY MINISTRY
Back to School River Outing Sunday, August 25th
Grab your swimsuit and head down to the Baker/Cudd River home to celebrate one last hurrah of summer! This is a family event. There will be boating, tubing, kayaking and swimming. Mark your calendars for Sunday afternoon, August 25th. We will share a meal together at 5:30 p.m. Every family is asked to bring a finger food dessert and 2-liter soft drinks to share. Sign up at the Connection Center so we will know how much food to prepare! Also, bring a lounge chair and/or blanket for sitting. You are welcome to come earlier to enjoy the water fun! Directions to the Baker/Cudd River home are located at the Connection Center.
Do you feel called of God to serve His Kingdom and Covenant Church
through one of these ministries?
Do you have a heart for others and a desire to be part of a ministry that
provides love, care and nurture for a small group of folks? If so, please
prayerfully consider submitting yourself as a candidate for our Care
Ministry Team.
Do you sense that God can use you as a humble pace-setter and visionary
for the overall ministry of Covenant? Then please prayerfully consider
offering yourself in service as a Steering Committee member.
If God is leading you to serve, please fill out a form from the Connection
Center in the main hallway and turn it in to the church office. If you would
like to recommend someone for service, fill out the form below and return it
to the church office or place it in the offering plate by this Sunday, July 21st.
