Welcome to Covenant Community Church! Welcome! We’re glad you’ve chosen to worship with us this morning. If you’re a visitor or would like more information about Covenant Community Church, please fill out a connection card (in the baskets on the floor under the chair in front of you) and place it in the offering plate when it comes to you. Most Sundays, if you have children between the ages of 5 and 5th grade, they will have an opportunity to go to a special kids class called GodSquad. There is also nursery care provided for younger children during the whole worship service.

This is a terrific opportunity for a professional portrait in the com-fort of your own church. Photographers recommends wearing bright colors as the most photogenic (and avoiding print and plaids). Skim through the sample directories at the Welcome Center to see how others have coordinated their outfits. The whole process takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. Each family photo-graphed receives a complimentary 8x10 portrait to be sent postage free to their home. Plus, they receive a complimentary directory. You will also be able to view and purchase our portraits immediately. Sign up today! We’d love to have 100% participation.
