Engage Locally

Missions Celebration

Sunday, November 2

 

As followers of Christ, we are surrounded by missions fields! Join us Sunday, November 2, during our morning worship hours until 12:30pm, to explore and learn more about the needs in this community and how we are called to engage those needs.

 

The morning holds a three-fold purpose:

*To realize the needs of the hurting and vulnerable around us

*To celebrate local works of compassion

*To inspire the Covenant family to engage more deeply in compassion work in our community

 

The morning includes our regular worship services at 9:00 and 10:30am, with break-out sessions beginning at 10:15am through 12:30pm. Wes Tillet with Lafayette Urban Ministry will be our guest speaker, and the break-out sessions will feature representatives from 14 local organizations plus a poverty simulation.

 

Students in kindergarten through grade 5 can enjoy games and pizza in the Retreat Center from 11:40am - 12:35pm.

 

Each of three identical break-out sessions will feature:

Poverty Simulation

Salvation Army, LUM, Food Finders 

Bravely Women's Health, Murdock Elementary

Oasis & Joyful Journey
