It is definitely summer! We hope everyone is finding ways to stay cool and hydrated.  

The Dinner & Game Night has been canceled for tomorrow night. We plan to resume after school has started and temperatures have (hopefully) dropped.  

Rev. Carol Montgomery is excited to return to Holy Covenant as our guest preacher this Sunday. Rev. Montgomery is our Conference Area Representative for the Texas Methodist Foundation. An ordained elder in the United Methodist Church, she has served the North Texas Conference in congregational and campus ministries and holds her License in Professional Counseling (LPC). Rev. Montgomery holds a B.A. in Journalism from Oklahoma State University, earned an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Texas Woman’s University and an M.Div. from Perkins School of Theology. She is the mother of two amazing adult daughters and a long-time resident of Dallas, currently living in the Richardson area.
