Hello!
We are excited to write to you on behalf of our wonderfully talented youth. We have dreamed big and are excited to announce a trip like no other, the 2015 Holy Covenant Youth “Believe” Music and Mission Trip- June 23-29. We’re traveling to Florida to sing and serve and see DisneyWorld as well! We’re utilizing our email capabilities to jump start Stock Sales, read below for details and join in this ministry we’re doing with our Youth here at Holy Covenant.

What are Stock Sales all about?
For anyone who has a child it’s easy to know how quickly all of their desired activities stretch beyond a family’s ability to provide the funding for them. Therefore, we at Holy Covenant have always sought to provide meaningful, fun, and affordable summer activities for youth. Instead of traditional, over-priced food or merchandise or holding monthly fundraisers, we’ve held our Annual Stock Sale. Where all you have to do is give and know that your gift WILL make an impact in the lives of our youth and those we will connect with. By giving, you communicate to us that you care about us and that you hope we change the world. You also create more opportunities for God to meet us as we travel and explore. Without your gifts, this trip wouldn’t be affordable to many of our youth. We thank you in advance for joining in this ministry with us. We will conclude Youth Stock Sales with our Breakfast Fundraiser on May 3rd in the Covenant Center where we hope to be able to announce this year as another HUGE success for our youth and church!!

What are we going to be doing??
Since you’re joining with us (in generosity and Spirit), you might wanna know some of the details of what we will be doing! We’re hitching a ride on a charter bus with other North Texas Youth who are headed to Youth 2015 in Orlando. Instead of going to the conference, we’re headed to FUMC Winter Park where we’ll serve with South Street Ministry in Orlando. We’re excited to connect with South Street because they believe in Asset Based Community Development, which seeks to build on the gifts and graces of the community rather than simply focusing on needs. We’ll perform for their Wednesday evening worship service. Next we’ll head to DisneyWorld on Thursday to have a blast enjoy each other’s company. Then on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we’ll work, enjoy company, and perform concerts through South Street Ministry and other area churches and organizations! We’ll jump back on the bus and head home, tired and full of God’s love.
