During this busy season, we can easily become distracted from the true meaning of Christmas. Help center your family with a daily Bible reading leading up to Christmas Day.

“I’ll be home for Christmas” is a popular Christmas song. But where is our Christmas home? This 25 day Christmas reading plan is designed to provide a daily Bible reading for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. We will see the significance of Bethlehem, reflect on Mary in Elizabeth’s home, meditate on the manger, and hear Jesus’ invitation for us to come home to Him.

Download the Bible App and search for “Home for Christmas” (25 days) or click the link below to get started on December 1.

Operation Christmas Child is a mission’s program of Samaritan’s Purse.  Each year, through the gift of a shoebox, OCC can demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.

Please plan to pack a shoebox(es)! Boxes will be available in the church foyer and below there are gift ideas for both boys and girls.  Take a look at the video to learn more about packing a box. Make sure to include $10 for shipping with your box.  You are able to include it inside the box as cash or a check made payable to Samaritan’s Purse or you can pay the shipping online and print a prepaid label which gives you the option to track your box too.  Once you have packed up your shoebox return it to the church no later than Sunday, November 24.

Anne Harper (252-665-1102) is the volunteer coordinator for this program in our church.  Once again our church will be a drop-off site for OCC and we will need volunteers to help each day of Collection week, November 18 – November 25.  You may contact Anne directly to schedule time to volunteer or with any questions.

How do I pack a shoebox?

Watch the video below to learn more and see the lists for ideas on what to pack.

UPDATE: All volunteer positions have been filled. Thank you for volunteering your time!

Covenant Park’s Fall Fest will be on October 20th. This event is one of our most popular outreach events. It brings our community together and is nothing but FUN! In order to make this event possible, we are in need of volunteers!

There are two ways that you can volunteer:

• Host a Trunk:  Decorate your trunk and hand out candy (provided for you)
• Give an hour of your time to help with a station (and still have an hour to enjoy the event!)

If you have any questions, reach out to Leanne Howell at leanne@covenantparkchurch.org.

We’re excited to bring Fall Fest, a fun fall experience, to our community! Your donation of candy will help make our festival a sweet success for everyone.  Please consider donating a bag or two of individually wrapped candy. Donations can be dropped off in the bins located in the church foyer.

The Morgan County Neighborhood Missions Team is running low on appliances that are given to local people in need. This is a wonderful mission that CPC is directly involved with.

Items needed most at this time are:

• Washers
• Dryers
• Stoves
• Counter microwaves
• Refrigerators

*appliances must be in good working condition as we are not equipped to repair them before distribution*

If you have any of these items that you would like to donate, please call Donald Smith at 404-754-4842 or Don Krup at 678-227-4765 to arrange for pick up. Also, if you know of someone who is in need of basic home repairs or furniture/appliances and can not afford them, please let us know that as well.

Our mission team has returned from a life changing experience with Christ Thru Baseball.  Selena Swafford said “Watching these young men come to know Jesus while getting to play the game they love was awesome! 50+ boys gave their life to Christ, 9 baptisms, an abundance of new friendships formed and my heart was filled with so much joy it was so hard to leave.”
