Stephen Ministers
A crisis can turn your world upside down. Consider a Stephen Minister to walk with you on your journey. Covenant’s Stephen Ministry is a group of trained, compassionate, faith-filled listeners who connect with others through confidential, one-on-one relationships. Stephen Ministers strive to share God’s love and provide hope, support and caring during difficult times. The identity of those receiving care and what takes place in each caring relationship remain private. Think of Stephen Ministers as companions on your journey, even if that means just talking on the phone during a tough day. “We are here to walk with you,” says Nancy Haggart, a Stephen Minister who connected with the group when she joined Covenant. Get connected: Contact Rev. Katherine Kerr to express interest in being matched with a Stephen Minister. The process is confidential.
Sanctuary Open for Prayer/Meditation
Sanctuary Open Mondays and Fridays for Prayer and Meditation In a step toward returning to holy space that has been so missed by our church family, the Sanctuary will be open for personal prayer and contemplation. Up to 10 members at a time may come on Mondays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. under a plan crafted by the Ministry of Worship. A prayer guide will be available as a resource for your time of reflection. In keeping with church protocols, members must sign in at the Welcome Center and wear face masks while inside the building.
