Our favorite book chats will be hosted once again by Covenant members throughout the summer.
These books complement our Summer Sunday School focus on discernment, sabbath, and equipping, and there’s ample opportunity to dive into these intriguing topics.

Dinner Gatherings

These gatherings were so popular last summer, we're bringing them back this year! Enjoy dinner with Covenant folks at restaurants across Charlotte, featuring a variety of cuisines and price ranges. This is a great way to connect with old friends and make new ones. Especially recommended for new church members!

Singing Events for All Ages

Are you a youth or adult interested in singing in worship but unable to commit to weekly rehearsals? Summer Choir is for you! From June 2 until September 1*, this group meets each Sunday at 10:15 a.m. to prepare service music for the 11:00 a.m. service. Come one Sunday or every week. No reservation required. There will be music, folders, and hymnals available and people on-hand to help you find a seat.  * July 7 is a combined service led by the Covenant Worship Team.

Summer Sundays with Children’s Ministry

Starts June 2 at 9:30 a.m. Volunteer to help us!
Children (1st - 5th grade) will start in 9:30 a.m. worship in the sanctuary with their families. After the "time with young disciples," a shepherd and leader will bring the group to the Education wing for a bible retell, games, and activities.
 
Parents, we're excited for a fun summer Sunday school with your children! Sunday school is a ministry run by parents (grandparents and other Covenant adults), and your support is needed to make it successful. If your child attends Sunday school we invite you (or adult friend/family member) to help lead or shepherd one week. This is an engaging 35-40 minutes of fellowship, worship, and games! We provide the script and all the materials you'll need. No prior knowledge is required. The shepherd will help the leader share the lesson.
 
Childcare is still provided for children age five and younger on the first floor from 9:15 - 12:15 p.m. every Sunday. Sunday school classes for current ages Three & Four and Kindergarten & Five will meet from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. with parent support!
