Palm Sunday

Celebrity Christ Syndrome
Let us imagine for a moment, what if the scene of the Triumphal Entry had happened today? What if the events of Palm Sunday happened in our media conscious twenty-four hour news world? I suspect that all the reporters would cover the event.
There really were many followers who turned back when they learned the full scope of the Gospel Jesus proclaimed. For them and for many of us, fame passes too quickly. What is hot today is passé tomorrow. Jesus was looking for faithful people who would be there for the long haul, not for the short term.
Join us for worship this Palm Sunday as we begin the journey through “Holy Week.”
See you Sunday!

Interim Pastor Approved
Excellent news! Session approved the Interim Search Committee's recommendation to hire
Reverend Jeri-Lynne Bouterse as our Interim Pastor beginning May 1, 2019.
Jeri-Lynne brings so much to this position: an extensive background, impressive experience, and a deep desire to be with us on this part of our journey. She is currently finishing her Interim position at First Presbyterian Church in London, OH.
Covenant owes a big "thank you" to the Interim Search Committee, Beth Askue, Charlie Bergmann, Linda Billman, Rusty Miller, and Kim Halsey, for their quick and efficient work to name Jeri-Lynne as our Interim pastor.
Don Hilkerbaumer will continue as our Gap Pastor until Jeri-Lynne begins. (Here is a helpful hint: Bouterse rhymes with
routers
.)

Vacation Bible School 2019
June 24-28
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
