Contact Lee Shore [email protected] if you have any questions or need additional information.  

Holy Covenant’s Green Team will once again sponsor Secure Shredding this Saturday, April 30 from 10 am to 2 pm in the church parking lot. This is open to the public. Protect your identity while supporting Holy Covenant. Watch your documents being shredded on-site with the utmost security by Secure On site Shredding Inc. The cost is $5 per copy paper sized box and proceeds go to Holy Covenant Missions. Invite your friends and family to bring their sensitive documents to be shredded.
