About Worship
In joyful gratitude, we gather weekly to worship God together and to share with one another all of God´s gracious gifts. We are a congregation committed to growing in faith and learning how our faith shapes our lives. We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month and the Sacrament of Baptism regularly when requested. Our dynamic, diverse ministry of music, from classical to contemporary, helps us to lift our voices and hearts in praise. Our worship services seek to be family-friendly as well as engaging, educational, and uplifting for people of all ages. A variety of approaches to the preaching of the Word are offered including traditional sermons, youth-led worship, and puppet ministry. As a community, we seek to listen to God's word that we might be a reflection of God´s light and love to the world! We welcome you to join us!

What is the "Pray to Prepare" e-mail list? How do I join?
You are invited to prepare for weekly worship at Covenant by joining the Pray to Prepare e-mail group. Toward the end of each week an e-mail message is sent from the office to the group in which Pastor Lin shares information about the scripture and sermon, music during worship and other pertinent items related to that week's service. You are also encouraged to pray for those involved in the service preparation and to prepare your heart and mind to receive the Word through the worship experience. To receive the "Pray to Prepare" messages, please e-mail your interest to Mary Kieta at mkieta@covenantmadison.org.
