Listening for Life
If Lent is going to lead us on a journey from death to new life, we are going to have to find some quiet. Some place where we can think – or better yet, where we can think
and feel
. We are going to have to spend some time going inside - inside to where the wilderness questions live: the “how am I to live?” questions, the “how do I become true to me?” questions.
Don't be afraid. Isn't that always what the angels say? Sure, there are wild beasts in the wilderness, but there are angels, too.
Join us Sunday as we consider what it is to listen for the Holy One, the Indwelling Spirit of the Living God.
Yours on the journey,
Katie
P.S. Don't forget the Ash Wednesday service tomorrow night at 7pm. We have child care all set up.
Go all in this Lent. There is no other way into the fullness of life.

Interim Pastor Search
Covenant’s Interim Pastor Nominating Committee is hard at work looking at candidates. The committee members are Beth Askue, Kim Halsey, Linda Billman, Charlie Bergmann and Rusty Miller. It is hoped the fulltime Interim, with a likely tenure of 12-18 months, can be on the job this spring. He or she will be charged with leading worship services, guiding the Covenant staff and Session and helping Katie with weddings, funerals and hospital visits. The Interim will oversee the transitional period until a new, permanent Pastor is in place. Please pray for those working on the Interim Nominating Committee and, in time, the Pastor Nominating Committee. In the meantime,
Katie Kinnison will be acting head of staff until our gap pastor, Don Hilkerbaumer, arrives March 21.

Pave The
Way
Update
The youth would like to thank the congregation for their generous support of the
Pave the Way
fundraiser. We are thrilled to announce we have reached our fundraising goal due to your generosity. We are looking forward to our trip this summer and the opportunity to learn and grow together. We will continue to gladly accept donations as we will be saving for future trips. Thank you so much for believing in our youth, for supporting them financially and through prayer. We are so grateful to each and every one of you for your love, support, and encouragement. We can't wait to come back and share our stories and experiences with our church family.

2019 Per Capita is $35.75 Per Member
Each member of Covenant is also a member of the larger church, the Presbyterian Church USA. As such, it is part of our responsibility to support the work of the administrative bodies of the national church – the General Assembly, the Synod, and the Presbytery. We do this by making a per capita payment each January. The per capita for 2019 is $35.75 per member, for a total payment due of $21,093. This figure is based upon our church membership roll as of Dec. 31, 2017. We invite you to pay your share of the per capita so that this money does not need to come from this year’s budget. Your contribution will free up funds for other vital church programs that meet the spiritual needs of our congregation. Envelopes are on the welcome table.
