Out In The Wild
Over the past eight weeks, we in Covenant Kids have journeyed “out in the wild”... in the ARCTIC, no less! We’ve done an exciting lesson series to learn about how our words affect the world around us… and to also cool off from this summer heat! Our CovKids have...

When the Shoe Doesn’t Fit
I recently bought a pair of shoes. Sparkly, gold, pretty shoes for one of my best friend’s wedding. I bought a size that in years passed fit well. But wedding day came- and these shoes did NOT fit. It was clear as I tried to walk around my kitchen that a full day on...
Don’t Let Halloween Haunt You
God is more than willing to give direction to the things that impact His kids spiritually and at every level. His perspective is always going to lead to what is best.
