Weekly One Takes with Bob Henderson

In today’s Weekly One Takes, Bob Henderson reflects on the passing of a dear friend and the many things he learned from her. He recalls, in particular, her generosity and faithfulness and encourages all of us to consider how the ways we live – what small acts, decisions and dispositions that we display -- shape what others will remember of us. “It’s a good exercise,” he says, “a humbling exercise.”

Our Adult Education Summer Sunday School takes place in the Fellowship Hall from 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. throughout the summer.


This class will focus on today's "everyday theologians," featuring contemporary people who have influenced our world. We'll study authors, actors, athletes, and more, all of whom have lived their life in a way that it inspires our faith. They are our modern-day teachers of faith.


This is an opportunity to talk with one another, connect with friends, engage in discussion and grow together.  

A Summer Racial Justice Series: See. Grow. Act.

Our summer series, focused on better understanding racial and economic injustice, continues this week with book studies on In My Grandmother's House by Yolanda Pierce. The book is available through Covenant at the Welcome Center ($14, cash or check) and studies will be held on June 17, 24 and 27.
