Sunday: Will Willimon on faith in anxious times

Willimon
says, many are quick to demonize the so-called outsider. We ignore the gospel command to love (and not merely tolerate) those considered to be "other" - foreigners, strangers and people without status.
Rev. Willimon, former dean of Duke Chapel, will give a talk in the Fellowship Hall at 9:30 a.m. He will also preach in 11 a.m. Fellowship Hall worship.

Covenant names contemporary music leader
Jason Graffis joins staff on Oct. 1
Covenant is pleased to announce that Jason Graffis will join the staff as Director of Contemporary Worship and Arts.
Jason has served for the past six years as Worship Coordinator at New Providence Presbyterian Church in Maryville, Tenn.

Jason also oversees youth and college ministries for the 225-year-old congregation.
A skilled vocalist, pianist and guitarist, Jason was drawn to music at a young age: "Some of my earliest memories are of sitting next to my grandfather at FPC Ocala and hearing him sing bass...These foundational memories instilled in me a love and appreciation for reformed worship."
Please join us in welcoming Jason and supporting his ministry among us.
