Levi's Update
Parents and families,
What a great spring beach retreat we had!
Thank you to all of you who sent your youth on the retreat I hope they had a great time. We spent the weekend planning for Youth Sunday, kayaking in the marsh, watching UNC beat Duke, and enjoying wonderful fellowship with each other. We were able to close the weekend with a beautiful worship service overlooking the water led by Jason Graffis. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit was at work during our time together.
I also want to extend a thank you to everyone who has participated in the Ministry Architects listening sessions. We appreciate your feedback and we are thrilled by the commitment to youth ministry shown by this congregation.
Looking ahead it is time to start getting into gear for summer. Our end of year celebration will be on May 5th. We will have an outdoor concert and potluck and it will be a great way to end the year.
On June 9th we will honor our graduating seniors and have our special Senior Sunday service. If you are a graduating senior and would like to participate please contact Sally Jackson so we can have you registered.
This is also your last chance to sign up for summer trips. With trips only a couple months away we need to start having firm numbers and deposits in. There is still room on all three trips (Yucatan, DC, Montreat). We would love to have you participate! If you have any questions about our plans for summer please contact Perrin Tribble or Sally Jackson.

Director of High School Youth Ministry

We will begin to look at songs to share in upcoming worship services as well as talking about why and how we choose songs, and what it means to lead worship. Bring your voices, instruments, and enthusiasm, and we'll see you Sunday!

Youth Sunday
Sunday, March 31st
Youth Sunday at Covenant is a Sunday morning in March where the youth are given an opportunity to lead the congregation in worship throughout all of the services. Graduating seniors will have the opportunity to deliver a "Senior Sermon" and Freshmen-Juniors will have the opportunity to lead worship in other ways such as liturgy, dance, song, music, artwork, greeting, and processing. The youth will use their creative energy to plan all of the services and make it their own. It is an exciting Sunday at Covenant and you don't want to miss out! Mandatory rehearsal for Youth Sunday will be the day before, on Saturday March 30th from 9-11:00 a.m.
