Below is how the sign-ups will work by Pastoral Communities for in-person worship on Sunday, June 7. Please note, we have two different sign-ups to attend worship, one for the worship center and one for the Community Life Center (CLC) simulcast. If you sign-up to attend morning worship, you are welcome to attend evening worship as well. You must sign-up to attend morning and evening worship in-person.
We invite all visitors and guests to sign up at any time. For our members, we will rotate through pastoral communities to prioritize sign-ups. Please note below which date and time your pastoral community is being asked to sign-up. If you miss your sign-up time, the sign-up will be open to all on Wednesday at noon until the worship center and CLC are at capacity.

Ministry to Men Virtual Breakfast
|
|
|
All men ages 16 and older are invited to join together online for a virtual breakfast. Instead of meeting in-person for breakfast, let’s meet online on Saturday, June 6, 8:30am via Zoom. Jon Paul, MD will be talking about “Suffering and Psalm 119.” You will explore how ‘Psalm 119 is about life’s painful realities. And it is about the gifts of God. And it is about how those two meet, talk, come to grips, and find life’s highest delight.’ David Powlison

We are excited to offer and to make available a Summer Sunday School series “A Book for our Times: the Psalms” beginning Sunday, June 7. We are living in unusual times full of challenges and opportunities in our faith. The book of Psalms contains a full and varied expression of human emotion toward God. John Calvin said this one biblical book comprises the anatomy of our soul, reflecting back to us the richness of living in honest and lively communion with God. In this short five-week online Sunday school class, we will look at themes in the Psalms which enable us to meet the challenges and opportunities of our times with a deepening knowledge of our lives in light of God and our devotion to Him. These Sunday School classes will be shown on our digital platforms (ChristCovenant.org, YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook) on Sunday mornings from 9:30am-10:15am. If you are not able to watch/listen at that time, each class will be on our website and all digital platforms for you to watch/listen at your convenience. These Sunday School classes begin June 7 and will go through July 5.

Donation Drop Off Continues through Friday, June 12
Christ Covenant has become part of a coalition to help our community during this time of crisis, especially to provide food for those in need and Personal Protection Equipment (PPEs) for first responders. We are partnering with the Charlotte Responds Coalition, who reports directly to the Char-Meck Emergency Management System. We are continuing to collect the following:
hand written notes of encouragement to healthcare workers, hand made masks, PPE supplies and pre-packaged pantry donations. All donations can be dropped off in the north lobby Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 4:00pm. If you have questions, please contact Karen Chambers at
kchambers@christcovenant.org or visit
christcovenant.org for more information.
After June 12, the schools will begin their regular food distribution program, and we will no longer be packing boxes at Second Harvest each week. After this date, you are welcome to drop off any food donations directly at Matthews Help Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10:00am - 1:00pm.
Serving One Another in the Church
We know that there are many in our church family who for various reasons may be struggling to get to the grocery store, pick up medication, etc. Christ Covenant has set up a temporary team of volunteers to meet these needs during this season. Please email Ginni Larkins at
glarkins@christcovenant.org, or get in touch with your pastor to request assistance with any needs you may have. We love you and want to serve you any way we can!

Women's Summer Bible Study
|
|
|
"Hinged” online Bible study of the book of Ephesians
Feeling a little disconnected? Are you wanting to study scripture, but feel uncomfortable leaving home right now? This summer, all of the women in the PCA are invited to join Karen Hodge and CDM virtually for a Bible study on the book of Ephesians. The study will begin in June and follow the Bible study from the Hinged Conference. If you attended the Hinged conference, you should already have the study, but all women in the PCA are invited to this Bible study, whether
they attended Hinged or not.
If you did not attend the Hinged conference, we have a limited number of Bible study books for sale at the Receptionist Desk in the A building. They are $15 each. Please plan to pay by cash or check when you pick them up. Visit this link to find out more and register:
https://pcacdm.org/hbs/.
We know that many of you may have already made plans to do this study with a community group, small group, etc. If you would like to do this study with a group of ladies, but do not currently have a group, please feel free to add your name to this Sign Up Genius. We will then place you in a group so you can study with other ladies!
Click here to sign up.
