Holy Land Trip 2024 Information
Join Pastor Jathaniel on a Holy Land Classic tour, which will serve as a rare opportunity to make a Lenten pilgrimage to the land that serves as the birthplace of our faith. This pilgrimage will be an all-inclusive, guided tour from February 25-March 6, 2024. This pilgrimage will be a small group expedition where we will be traveling and staying together with our own transportation and guide. This pilgrimage will bring scripture to life as we learn, pray, and worship together in the Holy Land. We will also be participating in a preparatory study that will begin to connect Jesus with the land, which will add another dimension to this special opportunity.

Theatre Memphis Presents…
Mary Poppins

Magical and Uplifting. When Jane and Michael, the ill-mannered children of the wealthy and uptight Banks family of London, are faced with the prospect of a new nanny, they are pleasantly surprised by the arrival of Mary Poppins. Confident and decisive, she uses common sense, whimsical imagination and a bit of magic to teach this family to value each other again by embarking on a series of fantastical adventures with her Cockney friend, Bert.
Ticket prices = $30 (Senior); $15 (Student); $35 (Adult)
Please RSVP via the SignUp Genius link or contact hcrone@covenantumc.org

Covenant Book Club
Join us for Book Club Thursday, June 15 @ 5:30. Our book is The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict.
We will meet at the CORDOVA LIBRARY 8457 Trinity Road.
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie is a thrilling reconstruction of one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie’s mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926. She goes missing in 1926 and 11 days later reappears just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.
Please join us for a fun evening of fellowship along with pizza and brownies! Everyone is invited! We do ask for a $5 donation to cover the cost of food.
RSVP to Joyce Feger - joyceafeger@gmail.com or Sally Andrews - 21sandrews@gmail.com
