Sunday: Celebrate the ministry of Joan Watson
Congregational meeting and retirement send-off
Joan Watson, our Minister for Congregational Life and Care, has announced plans to retire at the end of October following a 44-year career in ministry, including the last 15 years here at Covenant.
- As required by the Book of Order, the Session has called a congregational meeting for 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary on Sunday for the purpose of voting on the dissolution of Joan's call to Covenant as Associate Pastor.
- Following 11 a.m. worship, we will gather at noon in the Fellowship Hall to celebrate Joan's ministry as she retires and moves closer to family in Texas. A memory book will be available at the door for guests to share messages.
- You can contribute to a love offering at the event or online by clicking here. Please write "Joan Watson Love Offering" on the memo line of your check. Note: gifts are not tax-deductible.

Faith stories: Ali and Will Summerville
Why our campaign chairs choose to give
When the time comes to make decisions about giving, it helps to turn to our
own faith stories. Just ask Will and Ali Summerville.
They never expected to serve as directors of Covenant's Capital Campaign. But they remembered those who had nurtured their own journeys in the faith. And they knew how they would respond.
Read their story here.
