The Calendar

This Advent Season we are "Following the Star" as we prepare for the coming of the Christ child. JOIN US as we look toward Christmas!

The Candles of HOPE & PEACE are burning. Join us this Sunday for the lighting of the 3rd candle - The Candle of JOY. Our Choral Cantata will be this week too - December 11th!

Advent Sundays include:

Wed. December 7th - A Blue Christmas Worship at 7 p.m. Join in the quiet of the evening light to remember loved ones who have died and challenges you face in this season so expectant of joy and not sorrow - together we will name them both as we acknowledge God's presence of love and peace.

December 11th - a Choral Cantata featuring our Covenant Choir & Covenant Chimers.

December 18th - the energy will be high as our children/youth & adults gather for our Annual Christmas Pageant - I hear the animals are returning! :)

December 24th - 7 p.m. Christmas Eve Candle Light Worship - bring your family and friends for this memorable celebration.

December 25th - 10 a.m. Worship - bring your new favorite toy, a cup of java and wear whatever you'd like as we sing the carols and share our memories of Christmas!

We invite you to join us in worship and celebration.

At Covenant, we believe that worship is one of the main ways that God forms and shapes us as a community. We hope that you will find worship at Covenant lively, engaging, and personal. Many members of our community actively participate in worship leadership.

In worship, we acknowledge God present in the world and in our lives. As we begin worship, we gather together in joy and praise, with a Call to Worship and with singing. Then, together, we confess our brokenness, and lean into the Good News of God’s forgiveness in Jesus Christ. At the heart of our worship we listen for what God is saying to God’s church. We listen for God’s word, not only in scripture reading and preaching, but also in a time for young worshippers and in choral anthems. Re-energized and equipped by God’s Spirit, we then move out of worship into service in and for the world.

Children and youth are an important part of our life of worship. Our children and youth gather with the whole congregation for worship. Usually just before the sermon, we share together a “Time for Young Worshipers,” for children, youth, and people of any age who are young at heart. After this time, children through 8th grade usually attend Sunday School. Our older youth remain in worship. Our teenagers share in worship leadership, with some of them singing in the choir and some serving as worship leaders.

Immediately following worship, we invite you to join us Covenant Hall for refreshments every Sunday – on the third Sunday of each month we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with pastries and cake. We hope that this time together offers an opportunity to get to know members of the Covenant community and to learn more about our life together in community.

We have special services and programs during the seasons and celebrations of the church year. During December, our Advent worship services include a "Hanging of the Greens," and a choral cantata, along with special Advent programming. In the spring, we journey together through the season of Lent, as we move towards Holy Week, the cross of Good Friday, and the good news of Easter and resurrection!!!
