Join Us for Fellowship and Fun at the Softball Field!

Get ready to cheer on one of our Covenant Park Church softball teams! We’re so excited for them to hit the field and represent our church with some friendly competition and good sportsmanship. It’s always a blast to gather outside of our regular services and connect with each other, and what better way to do that than by supporting our team? Come on out, enjoy the summer weather, and encourage our players as they bring their A-game!

Here’s the game information:

• 🗓️ Games start: June 2
• 📍 Location: Bill Wood Park – 1000 Heritage Park Cir, Madison, GA 30650

May is Foster Care Appreciation Month, and we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to the incredible foster families in our church and community. To Kenneth & Jessica Niko, Robert & Bridget Biggers, and Aaron & Jill Wadley, and to anyone who may be helping to raise grandchildren or other family members – thank you! Your unwavering kindness, dedication, and selflessness are an inspiration to us all.  The love, support, and stability you provide to these children will make an extraordinary difference in their lives. Your willingness to open your homes and hearts helps foster hope, healing, and growth.

There are many ways we can all support these amazing families:

• 💳 Gift cards (Visa, Wal-Mart, Ingles)

• 🍽️ Restaurant gift cards

• 👶 Diapers

• 🍿 A family movie night snack basket or game night bag

• ☀️ A snack basket for the kids

• 🥘 Provide a meal for the family (one-time, weekly, or monthly)

• 🚼 Babysit so mom and dad can have a date day/night or provide overnight care

• 💌 A card just to let the families know you are thinking of them

In addition to supporting our church families, we also want to highlight the 52 Weeks Ministry, which supports all foster families in Morgan County by collecting frozen and non-perishable food items.

Let’s come together to show our appreciation and make a tangible difference in the lives of foster families!

To support our families, please reach out to Jennifer Farnam at 678-591-3982 or via email at jafarnam0416@gmail.com.

For more information or to donate to the 52 Weeks Ministry, please see Michael or Becca Malcom.

Our annual church Easter Egg Hunt is just around the corner, and we’re so excited to bring some springtime joy to our community on April 19th! To make this event a success, we need your help filling those eggs!

We’re asking for donations of pre-filled plastic Easter eggs. You can fill your eggs with candy, small toys, stickers, temporary tattoos, bouncy balls, or other fun, non-edible treats! We kindly ask that all eggs do not contain chocolate (it tends to melt).

Here’s how you can help:

• Drop off your pre-filled eggs in the church foyer between March 16 and April 13.
• Please ensure all eggs are securely closed.
• Remember, no chocolate please!

Your generosity will help us create a memorable and fun Easter Egg Hunt for all the children in our community.

We appreciate your support in making this event a success!

What a night for our CPC Kids Ministry! They told the Christmas story in only a way children can and we hope your heart was set towards the coming of Christ’s birthday. Enjoy watching their performance!

A big THANK YOU to:

• Leanne Howell, our CPC Kids Director
• Saralyn Fulcher & Ciara Edge for creating and directing the program
• John Kalland for running A/V
