Dear Church, 

According to UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief) , one of the best ways to assist those impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma is to make relief kits. We are currently collecting items through this Sunday to assemble kits. If you can, please bring the items listed at the following links for Hygiene Kits or School Kits.


Holy Covenant’s next Blood Drive will be this Sunday, September 24 from 9 am to 1 pm in the Covenant Center. 

Blessings!

Pastor Carol

 

Revolution: Uprising of Love sermon series  

We consider what it means to bring about a revolution within our church so we can bring an uprising of love in the community. The series is called Revolution: Uprising of love. Each week we explore, in worship (8:30 & 11:00 am) and in small groups (9:45 am), what we believe is our responsibility within God’s creation as articulated in our United Methodist Social Principles.
