Give Help
Want to put hands and feet to faith? Here are some of many service opportunities offered through Covenant.
Room in the Inn
Every year from December through early March, Covenant offers hospitality to 14 homeless neighbors for dinner and the night each Tuesday. This ministry provides food and shelter to our homeless neighbors and provides our congregation with an opportunity to build relationships with our neighbors. Many volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks from monthly coordinator to baking a casserole to spending the night. Please join us. To get involved contact Henry Owen, 704-804-7574.

The Urban Ministry Center is in constant need of reading glasses for homeless neighbors. Donations of new or used reading glasses can be delivered to the box outside Judy White’s office in the Education Wing. (Some dollar and discount stores sell reading glasses)

Hospitalizations
If you, a member of your family, or a church friend are hospitalized, please contact the church office to let us know! Include the hospital, the room number, and the nature of the hospitalization if possible.

Home Visits
The pastoral staff, the parish nurse, and lay members of our visitation teams call on members of our congregation who are known to be chronically ill or otherwise unable to attend church. Home communion can be arranged, and telephone calls and visits are regularly scheduled for homebound members and those in nursing homes.
