On Sunday our special/monthly communion offering is for the Hebron Colony located in Boone, North Carolina and in Santee, South Carolina.

Hebron Colony has been in existence since 1947 and is one of the oldest facilities around devoted to the restoration of individuals whose lives have been ravaged by alcohol and drug addiction and is also one of the most successful.

Usually when people come to Hebron, affectionately known as “the mountain,” they are physically, mentally, and spiritually sick. During their stay, individuals are separated from the worries of the world and most regain their strength in all these areas.

Hebron Colony understands that many people who have slipped into chemical dependency desperately need and want a personal relationship with God, and at Hebron Colony they find focus, direction, and guidance to help them find, and in some cases regain, what has been missing in their lives.

Hebron is not interested in giving people more religion; instead, they teach people how to walk in a personal relationship with Christ and begin to learn how to apply God’s principles in their everyday lives.

Hebron Colony has two facilities to serve the differing needs of men and women struggling with addiction. The main campus in Boone, North Carolina is the men’s facility and can house up to 39 students. Grace Home, the women’s facility, is located in Santee, South Carolina and has a capacity for 16 ladies. Hebron Colony offers a 10-week residential program at the men’s facility in Boone and a 13-week program at the women’s facility in Santee.

Your gift to Hebron Colony will assist Hebron Colony to continue its ministry of assisting individuals in overcoming alcohol and drug addiction. When giving on Sunday, pPlease place all special/monthly communion offering gifts in an envelope (found in pews) and label it ‘Special Communion Offering’ and include the name of the ministry before placing your gift in one of the tithe boxes located inside the sanctuary at our main doors in the north, south and toward the main lobby. You can also give online by clicking here. Thank you for your gift!

Did you know that Christ Covenant Church produces prayer guides for your use? Last week during Pastor Kevin’s sermon he challenged us to pray for the persecuted church. Each week our church produces a weekly prayer guide that features a persecuted church and an unreached people group that we can pray for each week. This prayer guide and additional monthly prayer guides can be found by clicking here.

We are so thankful we have had a HUGE response to signups for Bible Studies and First Friday Fellowship this year. This increased growth means we need more caregivers. If you have time in your Thursday morning (weekly) or Friday morning (once a month) to serve some young moms by loving on their precious little ones, we would love to hear from you! The positions run September through May. Thursday mornings and the first Friday morning of each month are the greatest need, but other paid childcare opportunities are also available. Pay is $12/hour. For more information, please contact Stephanie Bennett at 704-814-1049 or sbennett@christcovenant.org.

One of the areas we have discovered a missing link in service to the refugee community while working with our Afghan refugee family is the need for a storage unit or warehouse space to house the donations from churches until the specific need is identified. If you, or someone you know, has a storage unit or some warehouse space that could be used to store donations for the refugee families coming to our area, please contact Amy VanDusen at avandusen@christcovenant.org.

This is a great time to get connected to the body of Christ and experience the warmth of fellowship. If you would like to connect with others in a small group reach out to Caleb Johnson at calebjohnson@christcovenant.org.
