Small Group Ministry
Our small group ministry seeks to help members and friends embrace their gifts, and share in the ministry and the building up of the community of faith. Small groups offer us a place to deepen our faith and explore our questions. Through diversity of groups, and in a variety of ways, we share our lives and faith journeys through service, study and support. Come join us!
Dinners For Eight - Meets Monthly (Times and Dates Vary by Group)
It's time to sign up for Dinners for Eight! This fellowship opportunity is for everyone - singles, couples, and families. Groups meet once a month from October through May. It's not just about dinner - while many groups meet for meals in homes or restaurants, some groups also choose to meet for games, bowling, movies or other social activities. Some groups meet on Friday or Saturday evenings, while other groups meet during the week and some choose to meet for Sunday brunch after church. When you sign up you will have the chance to tell us the times that work best for you. This is a great opportunity to share fellowship and develop relationships with other Covenant members and friends.
Journaling Our Faith
(Meets Quarterly)
Journaling is a way to clarify our thoughts and emotions as well as a way to help us keep track of how we have grown in our insights and through our experiences (in life and faith) over time. In a journaling group people come together to share (as they are comfortable) their own writing and/or listen to the reflections of others. Also, during each meeting we explore other ways to stimulate our writing through music, pictures, stories, current events, objects, and scripture. All are welcome, experience in journaling isn't necessary - a curious spirit goes a long way!
