In response to Christ’s call to love one another, the Congregational Care Team seeks to extend love and support to Covenant members and friends through a variety of ministries. What a blessing to receive a meal, a note, a ride, or a hug! And what a blessing to offer these tender mercies to others!
Meal ministry
Covenant members experiencing difficult circumstances (such as illness, death, dislocation or other changeling situations) and joyful but demanding events (such as the addition of a new child) are encouraged to request a meal delivery. Volunteers also prepare and serve bereavement meals. Volunteers can sign up to prepare and deliver one meal a year, one meal a month, or something in between. If you would like to help with the meal ministry or would like to request a meal, please contact Karen Peterson.
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Handmade and infused with prayers, a Covenant prayer shawl is a bright and cozy symbol of our prayers for you to experience the hope, strength, and peace of Christ’s love. If you can knit or crochet, you can make a prayer shawl. (Instructions and materials are provided.) Contact Ruth Arnold.
TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY
Do you need a ride to church? To a medical appointment? If you’ll contact Karen Peterson or the church office, we will try to meet this need. Could you be a volunteer driver yourself? A chauffeur’s license is not required! Contact Beverly Riddell.
NEW MEMBER MINISTRY
Upon joining, new members receive a packet of resources introducing them to the various programs and opportunities for fellowship and service offered at Covenant. New members are also paired with a Covenant “mentor”—sometimes a work colleague or neighbor.
