June Communion Offering &
Mission Focus - Real Hope for Haiti
Since 2010, Covenant has been actively serving in Haiti. In recent years, life in Haiti has become increasingly difficult due to a failed government, lack of resources, gang violence, and extreme inflation. Food, clean water, fuel, and medical care are extremely scarce. These factors also make it impossible for the mission teams, led by Covenant member Holly Mitchener, to travel to Haiti. Our partners in Haiti continue to love, serve and support their communities. Our financial donations help make it possible in these challenging times.
More information about Real Hope for Haiti is available online:

June Mission Project UMCOR Hygiene Kits
For three Sundays in June, the 2nd, 9th, and 16th, Covenant United Women in Faith (CWUF) will be collecting supplies to assemble UMCOR Hygiene Kits. The kits will be assembled as part of our June meeting on the 25th. The kits will then be taken to the Sager Brown UMCOR Depot in September with the CUWF members going to serve and help support UMCOR.
Please deposit supplies in the UMCOR Hygiene Kit basket in the Sanctuary building. Your donations of any of the needed items to assemble the kits is greatly appreciated. Please see the link below for the supplies needed and how to assemble the kits.

Mountain Top Mission Opportunity
Are you looking to be involved in a regional mission opportunity? Can you commit to ONE weekend to impact the lives of a people you don’t know? Do you want an opportunity to “tell your story” in a safe environment? All of these things are possible at Mountain TOP. PLUS, you will get to see Jathaniel roll up his sleeves and swing a hammer!!
Jathaniel and I are headed to Mountain TOP October 3-6, 2024. The mission at Mountain TOP is to meet the physical, spiritual, social and emotional needs of the people we encounter. During this October weekend we will be working with families to improve their homes for the coming winter. So while we do need others to swing the hammer, we also need folks to fulfill the other aspects of the mission.
If you are interested in joining us, Please contact Bob Batson at 901-486-1876 or rbatson@comcast.net.
