God Speed, Lucy!
Lucy Crain, our Director of Mission and Outreach, has accepted her first ordained call to serve as Associate Pastor for Outreach and Mission of First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte.
While we are sad to see Lucy leave, we are grateful for her time at Covenant, as she and her team led our congregation to new heights of mission and service. Lucy says, “I take with me all the goodness of this wonderful community. I have received far more than I have given."
Lucy will continue her work at Covenant through April 2, at which time we will hold a public celebration of her ministry among us.
