Retreat & SundaySchool Updates

Final signups for the WTW annual Spring Retreat have been taken. We will depart from Covenant for the 4-H Camp at Smith Mt. Lake on Friday afternoon, February 27th, and caravan to our lovely accomodations! This is a unique opportunity for Covenant women and their guests. The retreat provides for quality time without our daily distractions, devoted to growing our faith individually and as a group. I am so excited! Hope to see YOU there!

Sunday School is progressing rapidly through our study of Modern Parables. We have completed lessons on "Hidden Treasure," "The Shrewd Manager," and "The Widow and the Judge,". This Sunday we begin the first lesson on "The Sower." Anne has prepared well to facilitate an interesting group session. Please come. You will experience a most interesting, challenging and ultimately very rewarding curriculum. The remaining 2 parables, "The Prodigal Sons" and "Samaritan" will be explored after the group adult Lenten Sunday School lessons. More information and a calendar of classes will be posted this week!
For your information: if you have missed a parable film, you can see them for free online at www.modernparables.com . You will not be able to access the application video - you've got to join us for that! Hope to see you this Sunday at 9:15 AM in the Red Room.

With Great Sadness

It is my sad duty to let you know that the son of our dear friend and classmate, Debby, passed away yesterday. I know you will want to include Debby and her family in your prayers - I will try to keep you informed of ways we can help them and of plans for a memorial service as they are developed. My heart is broken for them...I cannot imagine losing a child...we just cannot understand, we can only pray for comfort and hope.
The Memorial Service will be at Covenant this Friday (February 13) at 2 PM. Visitation hours are on Thursday (February 12) at Oakey's South at 3-5 PM and 6-9 PM. We keep this dear family in our hearts and prayers.
