UPDATE ON CHURCH STATUS
AN EXTRA SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with great excitement that we announce that on Sunday, April 11,after church services, the congregation met and voted to hire Rev Emily Harden Misfeldt as our new pastor.
Pastor Emily grew up in the Presbyterian church, but received her education and degrees from Lutheran affiliated colleges. Thus, she brings knowledge of our two combined denominations with her.
She will be moving to Grafton and is looking forward to serving our church, as well as getting involved with the Grafton community.
Let's all send her a hearty welcome and keep her in prayer as she starts her new ministry with the Church of the Covenant.
Welcome to the Church of the Covenant and Grafton, Pastor Emily, along with your adorable children, Madison, and Jesse! We are so glad you are here with us! We are looking forward to your ministry with us.
God bless you all - each and everyday!
Welcome to The Church of the Covenant
Come see what makes the Church of The Covenant an amazing church home! We are a combined Lutheran/Presbyterian Church. Please visit our History tab above to learn more about this.
Worship begins at 11am on Sunday morning. There is always something new and exciting taking place at The Church of the Covenant and we hope you will give us a chance to deepen your walk with God. We have also begun the process of having our services on line by Facebook Live Streaming. or if not possible to live stream, we will post a recorded messages posted later in the day.
The Church of the Covenants Federated board is recommending that all worshipers continue to wear face masks, even considering the news from the CDC. We are recommending this because -
1. Our very youngest worshipers are not able to be vaccinated yet.
2. We worship with folks who are immunocompromised, for whom the vaccine is less effective.
3. Our doors are open to all, vaccinated or not, and the simplest way to keep everyone as safe as possible is for all of us to wear a mask for our time together.
While we cannot "require" this recommendation to be followed, it is our hope that all of those who gather here will see continue mask wearing as an act of Christian love to those in our communities and families who remain in danger from Covid19.
We are doing these things in order to keep our church open, while ensuring that worship is safe for all! We also are not singing at this time, but we are hearing some beautiful music from our organist, Rick Kennedy. We are blessed to have him with us!
We pride ourselves on being small enough to know everyone by name but big enough to offer activities for the whole family. We are proud of our 150 years of history but even more excited for what God still has in store for our future. Our church's unique history of uniting Christian denominations make us perfect for any seeker of The Way. Come find out more!
