Join us this Sunday for our final outdoor worship service of the summer. We will celebrate the sacrament of baptism and continue our summer sermon series, Word. This week, Ken Jones will offer a reflection on Psalm 41:1-2. Amy Starr Redwine's sermon on the same text is entitled "With Us."
Celebration for Mindy Stewart
After worship, join us as we say thank you to Mindy Stewart, Director of Family Ministries, on her last day with us. We'll celebrate with cake and the presentation of gifts. All are welcome!
Music Notes
For the anthem and offertory at our outdoor service this week, we welcome a trio of lower-voiced singers: Covenant's Associate Director of Music, tenor Matthew Garrett, and Covenant Choir members, basses Silas Ifeanyi and Michael Peters. They will sing arrangements of two American hymns: "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and "Bound for the Promised Land."
