May Courier   
Sunday, May 9th
 
Sunday, May 9th is the 2nd Sunday of the month and we will celebrate communion with the benevolent offering going toward the Pregnancy Resource Center.
 
Mother's Day

It's also Mother's Day and because of that, the covered dish lunch has been cancelled so that you can spend time with your family on that day.  Since we don't have the covered dish lunches during the summer months, the next 2nd Sunday lunch will be in September.

Baccalaureate Service
 

 
During our evening worship service on Sunday, May 16th, we will be honoring our 2010 graduates in the annual Baccalaureate Service. Although the service is directed towards High School graduates, we want to acknowledge everyone who has achieved other educational milestones such as college or graduate degrees.
 
Please help us identify all Covenant family graduates by contacting Martha Middleton to let us know of anyone you are aware of that should be included.  There will be a reception following the service and if you are able to help contact Jerrie Kirksey .

Covenant is hosting the Youth Choir from Briarwood Presbyterian Church during their tour this summer. They will be singing their choir tour program for us on Sunday, May 30th. We will be providing them dinner at 5:30 p.m. and then they will perform their concert at 6:00 p.m. as our evening worship service.
 

We need your help with serving dinner before the concert and/or providing home-stays afterward ~ 38 girls and 18  boys need a place to sleep and breakfast in the morning!

Wednesday Night Program
 
From Emily Delmar, Kid's Quest Director:
 
 
Kid's QuestWe have wrapped up a wonderful year with Kids' Quest Catechism Club!  The students have been so enthusiastic about learning the basic truths of God's Word. The elementary classes focused on the Ten Commandments and what they teach us, while the preschool students have been learning about Adam and Eve and covenants. The children worked extremely hard this semester to memorize their catechism questions and answers, as well as memory verses corresponding to each week's lesson.The students earned points throughout the semester for their memory work, and they "shopped" with their points in the Kids' Quest rewards store last week. The 23 students collectively earned 1001 points this semester! We will take a break for the summer and look forward to gearing back up in the Fall!  Thank you to Dawn Colravy, Dawn Welch, Art Stroh, Jennifer Wit, Tricia Mitchell, Betsy Hayes, Angela Stroh, Ken Gray, and Barb Gray for serving in this ministry! It has been a blessing to work with you.
 
 
Tthe Adult Bible study has also ended until next fall.  However, the Youth Group is still meeting as well as the Chocolate Circle and various committee meetings as scheduled.

Officer Nominations

 
The Session of Covenant Presbyterian Church has opened nominations for the office of elder and deacon from May 1st through May 31st, 2010.  You will receive a formalized letter in the mail explaining in detail the Biblical qualifications for each of these offices and the procedure to formally nominate a man to one of these offices. 
 
The Session asks that you to begin to pray for the whole church to receive the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit in this matter.  Please do not formally nominate anyone before receiving the formalized instructions.  In the meantime, read and pray through Acts 6:1-7, I Timothy 3 and Titus 1 as you think about this important issue.  If we humble ourselves before Him in prayer, God will grant His wisdom and blessings over us in the days of ahead.
 
To God alone be the glory for it is Christ's Church, not ours.
