Dear Covenant friends and family,
What does a living faith mean? How does it grow all life long? This Sunday our youth will lead us in worship at 8:30 and 11:00 with the confirmation class sharing their statements of faith. It is a meaningful experience to hear them express what is in their hearts, and it's a challenge to all of us to ponder how our own faith is alive and growing. Join us for this important milestone in their lives!

Jean was a 40+ year member of Covenant and taught at Capital U. Law School. Her faith was service oriented and socially active. Her leadership at Covenant was a gift of intellect, passion, and strength. She left a substantial bequest to us which was supplemented by donations made in her memory to reflect her love of music, higher education and the Christian faith. The recipient is selected by the Worship and Arts Commission. Applicant should be pursuing a college or graduate degree in music or theology, a member of Covenant or associated closely in some manner, and demonstrate a commitment to excellence in his or her vocation.
