Quest Back from the Heifer Ranch

Members of the 2008 Quest class and Quest council spent this past week at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas. They learned about world hunger and participated in a 24 hour global village poverty simulation in addition to various service projects on the ranch. The group also toured the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis and did service work in Nashville, Tennessee. Questers will have the opportunity to make their public professions of faith and confirm the promises made to them at baptism in August. The class would like to thank the congregation, Quest mentors and parents for their prayerful and personal support during this journey.

Reynosa Mission Trip 2008

Covenant's Mission Team to Reynosa has returned to Charlotte. Thanks to Nik Van Nort's cell phone camera, here's a peek at what they've been doing. Our team constructs a house. And, as a gesture of appreciation, a family made lunch for our crew after they finished work on their home.

High School Mission Trips

Many of our Covenant High schoolers have been busy this summer, serving in the Yucatan and in Hayesville, NC. Time apart from daily distractions give us a chance to reflect on ourselves and the way we interact with the world around us. Who is our neighbor? They are across borders, in our state, in our city, and of course right next door. "Love your neighbor as yourself". Thanks, Covenant, for giving them this opportunity.
