As we all are aware, Pastor Carol has been reappointed and will be leaving Holy Covenant the end of June. She has given us so much love, support, positive messages and laughter. Now it is time for us to show our appreciation and give some love back to her. On June 14, 2020 there will be a parade of Love and Thanks for Pastor Carol through the parking lot of Holy Covenant. Plan on decorating your cars, your bikes, your trucks and make some noise for Pastor Carol to let her know how much we care and will miss her. Be looking for an email in the next week for additional details for the Parade and other ways you can show Pastor Carol your love! –Your SPPR Committee!
