Celebrate Holy Week at Covenant

This week will be rich with worship and sacred celebration.


One Takes: Room to Grow

In today’s One Takes, Bob Henderson reflects on Grace Lindvall’s devotion on daily renewal of our inner nature.


He talks about the interrelatedness of everything in nature and the benefits of spending time outdoors, and connects both to the health and vibrancy of our spiritual life.


“There is a renewal that is constantly going on by God claiming us and knowing us and helping us become renewed.” 

Watch today's One Takes
