Welcoming, Remembering, and Celebrating Together

Holy Covenant,

This Sunday is shaping up to be a really joyful and meaningful day in the life of Holy Covenant! And I hope you will join us!

First, I’m delighted to share that nine people recently participated in our new member classes in September. This Sunday during worship, we will be installing eight of them into membership, with one to be installed at a later date. This new member class is a visible sign that our church is growing, but more importantly, that we are doing the work God calls us to do—welcoming all people, demonstrating radical love, and seeking justice where it’s needed in the world. These new members recognize this call, feel it in their hearts, and this Sunday, are eager to live it out in their daily lives in relationship with a community that shares these Christlike passions and values…
