Today is the deadline to register your child for Fine Arts Week! This fun week of music and art classes for kids Grades 1-5 is next week, August 3-7 from 9 am to noon. The cost is $20 per child, with a maximum of $40 per family. On Friday, August 7 at noon, campers will present “Joseph, from the Pit to the Palace, A Stomp Musical”.
We still have a need for adult volunteers to “shepherd” kids from room to room. Please contact Debbie Chapman or Ashley Kees if you are available to help out. Call 972-849-5372 with questions.

Something BIG iscoming to HCUMC!
God is doing something BIG at Holy Covenant! The key is for each of us to Be aware of what God is doing so we become Ignited by the Spirit to create even more energy in the life our church and as we Go into our community.
One way we can see what God is doing is to enter into reflection. What is God doing at Holy Covenant? Why do I attend Holy Covenant? What has happened at Holy Covenant that has changed my life? What has happened through Holy Covenant that has changed someone else’s life?
The power that comes from reflection is found through the sharing of our answers with one another. When I hear what God is doing from your perspective and you from mine, we have a wider scope of God’s presence and power in our midst.
This summer, we will all get our chance to record our answers to these reflection questions or to share our faith stories. In Room 108 in the Covenant Center, a video booth is set up on Sunday mornings for each of us to stop in and share our answers. We will use these edited videos this fall for sharing our collective story of God’s work in and through our church family.
Through the sharing of these stories, we will experience the exhilaration of knowing that God is doing something “BIG” at Holy Covenant!
