SOUPER BOWL OF CARING SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3rd
Souper Bowl of Caring began in 1990 at Spring Valley

donated $18,622 to local Christian ministries. Grocery
carts will be located in the main hallway beginning Sun-

brought at any time that week. All food collected will be
given to HOPE of Lancaster. Each member is also asked to
make a monetary donation that day. Checks can be made

your gift in your regular offering envelope by designating

Welcome New Members
Covenant welcomed three new members in December. John and Ann McManus
came by transfer of church membership. John and Ann are charter members who
moved to Bennettsville in 2013 and joined a church there. They recently moved
back to Lancaster and have rejoined their Covenant family! JB Bowen also came
by transfer of church membership. JB just transitioned from our interim Youth
Pastor to full time Youth Ministry Director.

MEN’S MINISTRY
I love fresh starts and fresh beginnings; like the first day of school when all of your supplies are new! The beginning of a semester in Music Ministry reminds me of that same feeling of everything starting over - fresh and new. All of our music groups begin again soon, and this is a great time to join us! Maybe you've been watching and thinking you might like to try one of these ministries. Please consider this your personal invitation to use the gifts God has given you to make music that lifts up His name. Jump right in, the water's fine!

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY: Carsen Taylor
Men’s Ministry Breakfast Saturday, January 5th
8:00 a.m. No sign up is necessary.
Just show up hungry for physical food
and spiritual food!
PRAYER PARTNERS
We are bringing Prayer Partners back, and we want YOU to be
a part of it. It is really quite simple: you sign up, we pair up, and
then you pray…and do some fun things at some awesome
events. We have eleven children to match up now, but we will
need more than eleven prayer partners to sign up so we are
prepared when we grow. If you are interested, please let Carsen
know or sign up at the Connection Center.
MOPS INTERNATIONAL
We are excited to announce that we will be teaming up with
M.O.P.S. International to host a local young mothers group
here at the church starting February 5th. This will be an
amazing outreach opportunity for our church. Mothers need
a place for rest, encouragement, and fellowship, so if you
know any mothers, do not be shy about spreading the news
about our program. For this to be successful, we are in need of volunteers to
help with childcare, gym time games, and snacks. If you are interested,
please contact Julie Mathews by email at jaminsc721@gmail.com or by
phone at 616-723-6360.
Siberia Mission Trip: Cathy Keown will par ticipate in a mission tr ip to
Siberia January 25th through February 9th. Her team will be spending most of
their time in Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk. Please pray for them. The area of Irkutsk
is filled with shaman, and they are praying that God’s truth will shine brightly
in that darkness. Because it is such a small team, they will have limited
resources in order to leave funds for the extra needs requested by the sites they
visit. If you would like to support Cathy in this endeavor, please make checks
payable to Covenant and designate it for Siberia. God has graciously allowed
Cathy to be able to fund her trip; therefore, all donations given will go directly
to the needs of the people they visit. In Cathy’s own words...I am so grateful to
be able to return to Siberia and for the love of this church family in Lancaster!
SECRET SISTERS There will be a meeting on Sunday, January 20th, at 3:00 p.m. at the home of Rhoda Byrd (3052 Merritt Lane, Lancaster) for the purpose of revealing our Secret Sisters for 2018 and drawing for our Secret Sisters for 2019. This is open to all ladies at Covenant. Please RSVP to Rhoda Byrd at markmike@comporium.net or call 803-286-0388 if you can be a part of this fun afternoon. The Mission of Secret Sisters is to create and sustain a community of women who pray and encourage each other in our walk of faith through our relationship with Jesus and one another. RESPONSIBILITIES AS A SECRET SISTER
1) It is a commitment. The lady you are assigned will be expecting you to uphold her in your prayers, and she should be able to rely on you for encouragement.
2) Get to know your sister’s needs and her family’s needs so that you may pray specifically for them.
3) Be an encouragement to your sister. Send her cards or notes of encouragement.
4) Remember your sister on her special occasions with notes, cards, and/or small gifts.
“A word spoken in due season, how good it is!” (Proverbs 15:23) Praying daily for your sister will strengthen you, and the rewards can be immeasurable.
