Mobile Ministry for Families

Welcome to Mobile Ministry for Families, a place to connect with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and Covenant Presbyterian Church. Wherever you may be, these ideas will continue to inspire the spiritual growth of our children.

Anti-Racism Resources for Covenant Families

Have you wondered how to talk with your children about race and racial inequities? Have you wanted to better educate yourselves? We hope that Christians are trying to better understand our role in the society, and our impact (either known or unknown) contributing to these inequities.

One of the things we can do is educate ourselves and our families. There are MANY resources available to assist with this process and it is important to start discussions with your children early, even while you educate yourselves. The Children's Ministries Team pulled together a few resources that they thought might be of interest to others below.

Home Worship Space

Have your children help create a worship space in your home. What would be included in that space? Some ideas are: Bibles, a cross, music, prayers, religious pictures or banners drawn by the children. What other items? Sit in the worship space anytime, but especially on Sunday morning during the Sunday School lesson and online Covenant worship service.

Mission and Outreach Ideas

Look through the church pictorial directory and have your child or children choose people to make cards for and send them. These could be drawings or notes. Be sure to include your child’s name and that your family is from Covenant Presbyterian Church

Exercising Faith

Jumping for Jesus: Grab a jump rope and memorize Bible verses while jumping. Find your favorite verses or use one of these:
- Isaiah 41:10 Do not be afraid, God is with us.
- Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through God who strengthens me.
- Micah 6:8 What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, to love kindness, and walk humbly with God.
- Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.
New Life Nature Hunt: Walk outside and hunt for signs of new life and spring. Look for green grass, birds and bird’s nests, flowers, bugs, buds and leaves on bushes and trees. Parental guidance required.
Pray The Lord’s Prayer while washing hands.
Walk outside and thank God for all the creations you see.
