Christ Covenant’s HisAbilities ministry needs volunteers for our upcoming Spring Respite Night on April 22, from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm, in the lower level of the Community Life Center (CLC). This is an opportunity to come alongside Christ Covenant families impacted by disability by providing a few hours of respite for parents while their children are cared for and engaged by a team of volunteers

providing a safe environment with a variety of fun activities! Volunteers must be a member of Christ Covenant, but no experience with disabilities is needed to serve, and our volunteers find the evening to be a rich blessing and a great time to make encouraging connections with this special part of our church body!

Respite Night serves parents with children impacted by disabilities, or who are living with disability themselves. Training resources including a brief zoom video will be provided to our volunteers, and we work to make sure our volunteers are serving in a capacity in which they are comfortable. If you would like to serve or learn more about this opportunity, please email Amy Van Dusen at avandusen@christcovenant.org. Deadline for volunteer registration is March 26.

Our new congregational hymn for the month of March is "Jesus With Thy Church Abide." You can pick up a copy of the introduction and the music (with chords for instrumentalists) in the north, south and main lobbies. When we sing the psalms, we are singing songs that Jesus sang, songs that were about Jesus, and songs that point to Jesus. Our hope is to have a steady diet of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs at Christ Covenant. To that end for eight or nine months of the year we will try to highlight a psalm, a hymn, or other songs. You are welcome to collect these psalms as a personal devotional resource or use them in small groups as many do with the bulletin.
