Dear Covenant friends and family,
Okay. Tell the truth. Have you ever been disappointed in Jesus?
Have you ever expected a miracle and not gotten one? Asked for help forgiving and then watched as the grudge sprang up anew like a bad weed? Watched the news and walked away sadly, shaking your head and wondering, "How long, O Lord?" Asked yourself if this whole Jesus business was all it's cracked up to be?
Everyone has their moments. Including John the Baptist. Yes, Jesus' own cousin, the one who recognized him in utero, who baptized him as an adult, and yet later sent word from prison to ask, "Are you the one? Just double checking here. Because things are not working out so well" [Luke 7:18-28]
This Sunday we will poke around at those moments of doubt because, frankly, those are some of the best places for faith to take root more deeply.
Grace and peace,
Tracy

We are absolutely delighted to introduce
Mr. Shea Watts as our new
Director of Youth Ministries
Shea comes to us with wonderful experience as a youth leader, worship leader, and musician. He and his wife, Kathryn, moved here for her to finish her degree in Endodontic Dentistry at OSU. Shea is working on a Ph.D from Chicago Theological Seminary (he's there Mon.-Wed. each week), and brings a vibrant sense of faith and fun. He will work with Verge and Older Youth, and may lend his preaching and music abilities from time to time at Gathering. Contact:
sheawatts@covenantpcusa.org
Thank you for praying for our great search team.
They worked hard to bring you someone who is a great fit for us. Thanks to them for their faithful leadership!
Thank you to the incomparable Cathy Koeneman and Tom Billman
for their work as interim youth directors for Older Youth and Verge.
Also, a huge thank you to Jenny Speas and Lisa Coakley,
masterminds behind Verge activities! You'll still be around, among the many caring adults who love our kids, but we truly appreciate the extra presence you provided.
Thank you also to the amazing, visionary, hard-working Youth Ministry Renovation Team
for the work done the past 18 months. They conducted listening sessions, held retreats, kicked off the "tween" ministry Verge, renovated the youth room, put together a clear resource that documents all the steps needed for weekly and annual events.
And thanks to the many others
who attended listening sessions, prayed for us, gave wisdom and consulted with us.
Thanks, too, to the Permanent Funds Ministry, who gave us a grant to contract the Youth Ministry Architects to get us on this road in the first place.
We're at the start of a new chapter of youth ministry at Covenant, and so grateful to you all!
