Covers Cuts from United Way

Covenant Commits Funds to Uptown Shelter

 

Increasing economic distress is taking its toll on the streets of Charlotte. Recently, the United Way announced its funding cuts to local agencies, one of which is the Uptown Shelter. The Uptown Shelter offers 268 beds in its Emergency Shelter area and faced a $29,000 reduction in its funding for that ministry alone.

 

Senior Minister Bob Henderson is pleased to announce that Covenant has already responded to this need, and has committed an additional $29,000 to the Uptown Shelter so that it can continue to provide all 268 beds in its Emergency Shelter area.

 

"Times like these reveal the character of a community," Henderson said, "and I'm grateful to be part of a faith community that takes seriously our relationship to the poor. My thanks go to all of you for your strong support of Covenant's mission, and to Janet Delery, Chair of the Division of Mission."

 

"We were given an opportunity to make an impactful contribution to meet the needs of the poor in our community," Delery said. "By acting quickly, perhaps we can further our impact on the city by being a catalyst for others and setting a standard of leadership."

Opportunities for 2009-2010

Covenant has a spirit filled children’s ministry with a progressive approach.  Many and varied opportunities to minister to Covenant’s children are available for the coming school year.  Please carefully and prayerfully review these options here.  As you read these options you will be very aware that it takes many persons to accomplish our goals.  Please respond to God’s call for your area of ministry. Please note that the time commitments have a broad range. 

Vegetable Garden Project

Covenant Youth, along with the Preschool and the Division of Education, have planted a vegetable garden. Our hope is to learn about gardening and food, study our connection to God through nature, and get dirty while having a great time. The food will be used in a variety of ways depending on yield: taken home and eaten by the gardeners and their families for Sunday dinner, given to the preschool for educational snacks, used as part of the meal for Covenant Connection, or donated to Friendship Trays.

 

Congregation members are encouraged to get involved through donating supplies (old equipment that is still in working condition is perfect) and donating their time working in the garden.  If you are interested, please contact Henry Owen, interim high school youth director (704-804-7563).
