Join us for this special night of worship as we celebrate Christ's birth on Saturday, December 24, at 5:00 pm on Christmas Eve! Children's programs are available for ages 4 months through 35 months.

All are invited to join us for morning worship on Sunday, December 25, at 10:45 am. There will not be any children’s programs on Christmas Day, so that we might all enjoy worship together as a family! Even our littlest ones are created to worship and we love having them in our worship services, delightful sounds, wiggles and all! The service will be streamed on the screens in all of the lobbies should you choose to sit out there and listen! We look forward to celebrating Christmas morning with you! There will not be an evening service on Christmas Day.

To begin our New Year, Sunday, January 1, 2023, we will have morning worship at 10:45 am and evening worship at 6:00 pm with all the regular children’s programs.

Each Christmas at Christ Covenant we provide an opportunity for you to buy a poinsettia that is displayed in our sanctuary for the Advent season. You can purchase one for you/your family, give one in honor of someone, or give one in memory of someone. We will print the names of those who receive a poinsettia in honor and in memory in the courier for our Christmas Eve and Christmas Day services.

Each poinsettia is $10. If you purchase one, you can either pick it up and enjoy it at home after morning worship on Christmas Day or you can leave it to bless someone else.

Poinsettias can be purchased online by clicking here or by using the form at the bottom of the courier on Sunday and placing it in an offering box.

All are invited to join us for a time of coffee, light refreshments and to hear from our supported workers, Shane and Krista, on Sunday, December 11 at 9:00 am in CLC rooms 5 & 6! Shane and Krista are English teachers in a restricted country and have a unique opportunity to invest in the lives of more than 100 college students and colleagues daily. Come and hear about how the Lord is working through their lives to share the Good News with the unreached people in the country where they serve!

The New Member Class is for adults and students 9th grade and above who wish to join Christ Covenant Church. Our pastors teach this class, which reviews Christ Covenant’s philosophy of ministry, the reformed faith, the Presbyterian form of government, the vows of church membership, and other topics pertinent to church membership. This class is required for those seeking to join Christ Covenant Church. Our next New Member Class will be held during Sunday School beginning January 8. The class will meet from 9:00 am – 10:20 am. If you are interested in attending, please contact Michelle Gustavson to register by January 3.

Beginning January 2, 2023 and for the entire month of January, the Session of our church will receive and consider nominations for the offices of elder and deacon. Through these offices Christ rules and shepherds his church. Would you prayerfully consider who you believe could serve our church well as an elder or deacon? All nominees must be male and a member of our church for at least two years by his election (June 2023).

Sunday School is currently on a break and will resume with new classes beginning Sunday, January 8, 2023. This is a new rhythm for us as a church, which allows a rest for our teachers and volunteers, especially in the children’s area.

Covenant Day School is hiring for various positions. Details can be found at https://www.covenantday.org/about-us/employment
