Small Groups at Covenant
Small groups are a vital part of our growth spiritually and they give the opportunity to dive deeper into this Covenant community. We have engaging series/topics throughout the year, such as our last series on money and the choices we make with it, so keep checking back here! There will be groups that meet in person and some that meet virtually.
If you have any questions about small groups at Covenant, please contact Pastor Charlie Berthoud.

Mercy Mats Small Group
Meets on the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 1:30-3:00pm
A mercy mat is a hand-crocheted bed roll made from reused plastic shopping bags. As part of the Adult Education Committee’s theme of Compassion: Giving of Ourselves, this group will meet from 1:30-3:00 pm on the first and third Wednesdays of the month to sort, cut, and crochet strips of plastic into useful sleeping mats. Over 700 bags per mat are needed! You don’t need to know how to crochet to participate. An instructor will be present at each meeting. Watch this video to see how the mats are made. Completed mats will be donated to our mission partners Friends of State Street and Porchlight.

Fiber Friends
Meets on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month from 10:00-11:30am in church lounge or on Zoom
In the past, women in this group made mittens, hats, scarves, baby clothes, and prayer shawls. Many of these handmade items have been donated to the Friends of the State Street Family, and after hanging on the youth sponsored Christmas tree, to the River Pantry. The group would like to welcome anyone to join who might be working on a project to donate or a personal project. We are also able to offer help with your knitting or crocheting. Come and spend time working on your knit/crochet creations, and enjoy the company of other Fiber Friends.
