Do You Love Me?
It is a joy and privilege to join Covenant’s family of faith for a season. Most of you are aware that as your Interim/Transitional Pastor my ministry with you can last a year or more. My goal is to guide you through a process of knowing who you have been, who you are now and where you want to be as a family of faith, as disciples of Jesus Christ. I cannot promise you that this will be an easy journey, but I can promise you that God will be with us! This is a time of grieving for what was, missing Tracy and Jim, and a time of hope for the future and new pastoral leadership.
The future of the church is on everyone’s radar and good stewardship is going to play a critical part in developing a strong and healthy ministry, paving the way for your new pastor. This Sunday Katie and I are working together to share with you the key to being generous stewards of all that God has given us. In the gospel of John, chapter 21, Jesus provides us with sort of a job description for disciple wannabes, people who will be involved in the day-to-day work of caring for the people of God. He asks Peter three times, “Do you love me?”.
As we approach Covenant’s Dedication Sunday on May 12, it is wise to consider these questions; “Do I love Jesus?” If I do, if I am Jesus ’disciple, then how am I involved in the day-to-day work of caring for the people of God? Am I a good steward of all the gifts God has bestowed upon me?
Please join us this Sunday as we explore these questions and share in God’s grace at the Table of the Lord. I am very excited to worship, serve, and fellowship with all of you!
In Christ’s Service with You,
Pastor Jeri-Lynne

Vacation Bible School 2019
June 24-28, 9am - 12pm
Ages 3 years old - 5th Grade
One small step for your kids...one giant leap for God's Kingdom! Blast off with the first VBS to land on Mars...and beyond! Children will discover the wonders of God's universe and become Voyagers on a journey through space, exploring where God's power can take them. They'll lift off to distant planets on special missions to collect power sources. Along the way, they'll learn how God walked with heroes of the bible, and that God is always with them, too. Add to the adventure with out-of-this-world fun, learning, and bible stories that inspire children to give glory to God who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask...or imagine!
ALSO, Volunteers needed for VBS!
Youth entering 6th grade and older and adults are needed to help teach, feed, entertain, craft, sing, dance and enjoy the children of our church and community. Sign up to help at
