What is Happening This Week 12/29/22-1/1/23
 Holy Covenant Family, Thank you for your generosity this year! You have given in so many ways. As we are in the last few days of our 2022 giving, please ponder one more gift to Holy Covenant. We are still in need of funding to cover our expenses. If you have not given your complete pledge, you can give on line and we can accept checks next week marked 2022 or Walk the Manger. We are so appreciative of your faithfulness! Your contributions support the ministries of our church family and are a blessing to many! The church is quiet and still this week. But there is still Christmas in the air! We have one more very special Christmas service on Sunday, January 1! We will gather at 10:30 to celebrate Epiphany & Holy Communion. We will begin a new year creating holy space to encounter the Holy Child here in our midst. Hope you will join us!
