From replacing a wheelchair ramp at Samaritan House to baking muffins for Friendship Trays, Covenant folks mobilized on Sunday for a purpose bigger than ourselves. We painted, shoveled, raked, repaired and, most importantly, made a positive difference for our organizations and the people they serve.

Learn about practices that will help you craft your soul and live more deeply into your life of faith. After each presentation, we will share discussion and prayer as a group.
