Message from Alyssa

Happy week 27 in quarantine. 

I'm loving getting to hear all about your online schooling escapades; thank you for keeping me in the loop!  A reminder that our upcoming Fall Calendar will be marked by an alternating virtual/in-person programming schedule, with regular fellowship at 6 pm on Wednesdays (virtual unless otherwise stated) and in-person events on Sundays. Keep an eye out on your Reminds and e-blasts for what's coming up!

This Week!
This week's drive-in movie will take place on Friday, 9/25, at 7pm with the showing of Hidden Figures in the upper lot of Covenant. The in-person health form to be filled out can be found below in this e-blast! Note that this is not our usual fellowship time, so I will be sending out reminders throughout the week; but hopefully you all will enjoy making some weekend plans with us! Then plan to  join us on Sunday School for a lesson on the Parable of the Sheep.

The Covenant Outside Activity Participant Form must be completed for each individual each time they participate in a Covenant Youth activity.  You may download and complete the form before arriving but cannot submit until a Covenant staff member/activity leader has taken a temperature and it has been recorded on the form.  Access the form here!

Returning to Youth Programming at Covenant
If you missed our Back to School parties and Fall Kick Off but are interested in returning to youth after some months away - or getting to know some of your peers for the first time - we have two upcoming programs for you! 

Next Wednesday, on 9/30, we will have a virtual program inviting you and another youth member to pair up and become experts on one another before presenting to the group! Then, on Wednesday, 10/7, we will have an in-person gathering under the magnolia tree of the church to spend some socially distanced time together and discuss life and God. Bring a friend!
