We hope you are able to join us during this new Sunday School semester with new class offerings. All Sunday School classes begin at 9:00 am. We have a variety of classes. Our classes will run on a 13-week, 7-week or 6-week schedule, as noted in each description in the Sunday School booklet that can be found in the worship center. You can also read about the class offerings on our website by clicking here. We hope you will find a class that will benefit your relationship with Christ and connect you with others.
Our pastors are looking forward to hosting a time of fellowship and prayer each Sunday morning as we begin class. Regular discipleship and fellowship is a vital part of learning to stand on truth and walk in grace together. If you have any questions about Sunday School, please email info@christcovenant.org. |

Serving Afghan Families in Charlotte |
|
|
Tens of thousands of Afghans were forced to flee their homeland this summer as the country fell to the Taliban’s brutal regime. Leaving everything behind, these desperate people were evacuated on hurried flights and now await resettlement here in the United States.
As Christ Covenant considers welcoming and sponsoring a family from Afghanistan, please consider how you can help us prepare to support and love them in the name of Christ! We need your skills and resources in a variety of areas as we form an organizational team and volunteer network to serve this family! We anticipate a team of 6-8 people giving significant time and assistance to a single Afghan family in these and other areas.
• Help them find housing,
• Offer housewares and home furnishings,
• Enroll children in school and shop for school supplies,
• Teach skills like driving and shopping,
• Provide transportation to appointments,
• Engage children and family in community events,
• Introduce parents to potential employers,
• And much more!
If you are interested in serving as part of this team, please contact Mike Miller at mmiller@christcovenant.org or at 704-814-1056. |
