Monthly Day of Prayer is Tuesday, May 26
|
|
|
Our Monthly Day of Prayer is on Tuesday, April 21. While we will not be gathering together in person for prayer, we can take time throughout the day to pray for one another, for our church, for our state, and for our country.
You can participate in the Monthly Day of Prayer from your home! The day is divided into 30-minute segments for individuals to sign up and pray for missionaries and needs of the congregation. You can select the time that best fits your schedule at
ChristCovenant.org/members/prayer to help us cover the day fully in prayer.
You can also take this time to call a friend to pray with them over the phone. You can send a text or email letting them know you paused in your day to pray for them.
Lastly, we hope you will take time to submit your confidential prayer requests either online at ChristCovenant.org/members/prayer or by email at
prayer@christcovenant.org. Your pastors and staff are continually praying for you!

Donation Drop Off Continues through Friday, June 12
Christ Covenant has become part of a coalition to help our community during this time of crisis, especially to provide food for those in need and Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs) for first responders. We are partnering with the Charlotte Responds Coalition, who reports directly to the Char-Meck Emergency Management System. We are continuing to collect the following:
hand written notes of encouragement to healthcare workers, hand made masks, PPE supplies and pre-packaged pantry donations. All donations can be dropped off in the north lobby Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm. If you have questions, please contact Karen Chambers at
kchambers@christcovenant.org or visit
christcovenant.org for more information.
After June 12, the schools will begin their regular food distribution program, and we will no longer be packing boxes at Second Harvest each week. After this date, you are welcome to drop off any food donations directly at Matthews Help Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:00am - 1:00pm.
Serving One Another in the Church
We know that there are many in our church family who for various reasons may be struggling to get to the grocery store, pick up medication, etc. Christ Covenant has set up a temporary team of volunteers to meet these needs during this season. Please email Ginni Larkins at
glarkins@christcovenant.org, or get in touch with your pastor to request assistance with any needs you may have. We love you and want to serve you any way we can!

Ministry to Men Virtual Breakfast
|
|
|
All men ages 16 and older are invited to join together online for a virtual breakfast. Instead of meeting in-person for breakfast, let’s meet online on Saturday, June 6, 8:30am via Zoom. Jon Paul, MD will be talking about “Suffering and Psalm 119.” You will explore how ‘Psalm 119 is about life’s painful realities. And it is about the gifts of God. And it is about how those two meet, talk, come to grips, and find life’s highest delight.’ David Powlison

Women's Summer Bible Study

"Hinged” online Bible study of the book of Ephesians
Feeling a little disconnected? Are you wanting to study scripture, but feel uncomfortable leaving home right now? This summer, all of the women in the PCA are invited to join Karen Hodge and CDM virtually for a Bible study on the book of Ephesians. The study will begin in June and follow the Bible study from the Hinged Conference. If you attended the Hinged conference, you should already have the study, but all women in the PCA are invited to this Bible study, whether
they attended Hinged or not.
If you did not attend the Hinged conference, we have a limited number of Bible study books for sale at the Receptionist Desk in the A building. They are $15 each. Please plan to pay by cash or check when you pick them up. Visit this link to find out more and register:
https://pcacdm.org/hbs/.
We know that many of you may have already made plans to do this study with a community group, small group, etc. If you would like to do this study with a group of ladies, but do not currently have a group, please feel free to add your name to this Sign Up Genius. We will then place you in a group so you can study with other ladies!
