Do you fall into this age range and are seeking fellowship with other Empty Nesters? Come discover how you can become informed about upcoming events.

Worship Helpers
We are always looking to incorporate the gifts of all God’s people into our worship gatherings.  It might be through music or dance, through your ability to read Scripture effectively, and we are always looking for people who can help with greeting or ushering.  Let us know if you are interested!

Coffee Hour
Coffee hosts/hostess’ have one Sunday a month when they take a shift either making coffee and juice and setting everything out in the narthex, or cleaning up and doing the dishes. Would you be willing to serve God by serving or cleaning up coffee hour?

United Methodist Women
UMW is an organization for all women to be a part of where we join together to support each other in Christian fellowship as we grow in our spiritual lives. This can be an enriching and educating experience as we fulfill our commitment to local and global mission ministries of the church. UMW meets on the second Monday of every month (except during July and August) at 7:00 pm at the church. All women are welcome to attend!

Lay Visitation Ministry
This ministry is grounded in Jesus’ command to love one another. Sometimes we go to the hospital, a nursing home or a house in a team (usually two people) to extend God’s care to those who need it.  At times, we engage in a one-to-one, confidential, caring relationship by a trained lay person.  Each of these persons is trained and commissioned by our church to help anyone who is experiencing difficult times in life. Do you have a concern and wish to speak with someone? Are you considering signing up for training to become a new visitor?
Learn more about Stephen Ministries that we utilize for some of our training.

Other Activities

Church Campouts
Each year in the middle of August Covenant families join together to enjoy a three- or four-day weekend of camping at one of the area’s beautiful lakes. Many Covenant families look forward each year to the beautiful setting, the fellowship, and the vast amount of activities available for all family members. Swimming, boating, water skiing and water boarding, hiking, biking, Frisbee golf, bocce, horseshoes, campfires (s’mores & a sing-along at the youth site), potluck dinner and an outdoor church service are some highlights enjoyed every year. Campsites go quickly for this Covenant favorite event!
