  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.
