Check out youth pictures on Covenant's Facebook page for pictures in the album 'Youth Happenings'.
Students are asked to sign in at the Kid Check sign-in stations inside door 2 for all youth events including Sunday morning small groups. You can use the Kid Check app so most of the process can be done before you even get to the church but you must have signed in at least once inside the church to activate your account. There will be someone to assist for a while until everyone is used to it. Search Kid Check App on your phone. Click here for more information.
Life Groups Information and Parent Note

This week HS Life Groups are at Biggby Coffee on Dupont
due to floors being resurfaced in the Cove.
Freshman and Sophomore Life Group - Tuesdays 7:00-8:30

Junior and Senior Life Group - Wednesdays 7:00-8:30

Middle School Youth Group - Sundays 5:00-6:30

Jump56 (5th and 6th) - First Sunday of the Month - 5:00-6:30

Parents,
The lesson this week is 'Made to Last Forever'. We will be discussing how God has set eternity in our hearts (Ecc 3:11). Finding purpose involves discovering whose we are. God created us for Him. As your kids think about their purpose in life, they should:
  1. Seek God. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." Matt 7:7
  2. Know they are not an accident. "I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. " Isaiah 44:2 God formed us in the womb. (Psalm 139:13-16) He values ALL life.
Discussion question: Since we were made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?

MS Sunday Morning Small Group - 9:30 in Room 405 (first room on the right as you go downstairs.)

Jump 56 - 5th and 6th graders (Start out in the Sanctuary with your family or friends. You will be led to room 402 in the Cove after the children's message.)
