“Let us consider how to stir one another to good works.” Hebrews 10:24
Fort Jackson National Cemetery
Fort Jackson National Cemetery service included preparations for Veteran’s Day and Wreath’s Across America. The Covenant community sought to honor those who have given their lives in service to our country and to express our gratitude to their families by cleaning the grounds prior Veteran’s Day, purchasing wreaths for Wreaths Across America, and by returning in January for removal of the wreaths.
Operation Christmas Child
Each year our Big and Little Buddies gather to fill shoes box for children around the world for Samaritans Purses’ Operation Christmas Child. Once the boxes are filled with gifts, the students include a letter and picture for each child. Last but least the students pray for the child that will receive the shoe box filled with gifts.
Bundles For Babies
Recognizing that each child is fearfully and wonderfully made in the “imago dei” image of God, the first goal of the Annual Fund was to raise $2,500 for Bundle for Babies to gift to pregnant women and their families in need. The bundles were a large diaper caddy filled with diapers, formula, onesies, baby wipes, lotion, and Max Lucado’s book You Are Special. Kindergarten through 12th grade students teamed with their “Buddy” to pack the bundles, and the Seniors delivered them to Daybreak Lifecare Center.
