Keeping Everybody in the Loop!
Jul 10, 2025
There’s a sacred act that happens every time you click “Share.”
Not dramatic, not loud. Just a quiet yes—a decision to put something meaningful into someone else’s feed, inbox, or group chat. When you forward a Holy Covenant post, article, video, or event, you’re doing more than spreading information. You’re building the sanctuary. Brick by digital brick.
In today’s landscape of noise and division, sharing something grounded in welcome, justice, or love is a small revolution. It tells the algorithm, “This matters.” It tells your friends, “This is my community.” And it tells a weary world, “There’s still a place where all are truly welcome.”
Here’s the thing: we put heart and time into every post we make. A photo from Pride. A sermon recap. A book recommendation. Each one is crafted with love—but it only travels if you send it.
Go forward boldly. Screenshot the weekly worship post and drop it in your group chat. Share one of our book recommendations from “Read. Reflect. Renew”. Email the livestream link to your cousin who stopped going to church but still hums the hymns. Post one of our many Pride Posts or stories from June with, “This is my church.”
In a way, you become the usher—guiding people in, helping them find their seat, reminding them they’re not alone.
Jesus said to go out two by two. We say: click it, copy it, send it. That’s modern ministry, y’all.
✉️ This week’s challenge:
Choose one Holy Covenant post that speaks to you. Share it with one person who needs to see it.
Let the Spirit guide your clicks.

You’ve told your friends. You’ve brought your kids. You’ve baked the muffins. But have you told Google about Holy Covenant?
We’re launching our very first Digital Disciple call to action: write a review about Holy Covenant UCC on Google. Just scroll to the bottom of our home page and click the button labeled “Leave a Review on Google”. (Go on. It’s right there in the footer. We’ll wait.)
Here’s why it matters: Google reviews are one of the most important factors in how people find our church online. Search engines take your words — the ones about welcome, warmth, preaching, music, justice, and handbells — and use them to decide whether we show up when someone types “progressive church near me” or “open and affirming churches in Charlotte.”
More reviews = higher rankings = more seekers finding us = more chances for us to say “you are already loved.”
It’s evangelism, but make it tech-savvy. Your voice helps extend our extravagant welcome beyond Sunday morning and into the digital wilderness where people are quietly searching for a place like this. And yes — even a short, kind sentence makes a difference.
Now, we’re not trying to guilt you into it… except we kind of are. But in that “if-you-love-your-church-so-much-why-don’t-you-marry-it-and-leave-a-review” kind of way. 💍📲
Let’s use our clicks for good. Be a Digital Disciple. It’s easier than some of our hymns.
