The Cove Yard Sale Fundraiser

In April (exact date TBA), The Cove youth group is planning to hold a yard sale fundraiser! If you were planning on doing some cleaning out of your cluttered closet or garage, don’t throw away anything you find! Instead, please consider donating it to The Cove to sell at the yard sale. As the saying goes: “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.” (Unless it really is just trash, like old banana peels. It you find something like that in your closet then, please, by all means throw it out!)

If you would like to donate some things to the yard sale, you are free to start dropping those items off at the church now! Either bring them on Sunday or come by the church office during the week. If you have any questions or if you would like to help with the yard sale in a different way, please contact Bekah.

As always, all the money The Cove raises at fundraising events such as this will go toward their trip to CHIC this summer.

David Schultz Celebration

This Sunday, we will be holding a very special cake reception in honor of longtime Village member David Schultz. David has been attending at Village for much of his life; he first started attending during the 1980s. David will be leaving Azusa soon to move to a retirement community in Springfield, Missouri, where he will be closer to his son. Over the past several decades, and the past ten years especially, David has become a veritable pillar of the Village community. We would like to celebrate David’s time as an integral part of the Village family and also wish him well on this new chapter in his life.

We hope you will join us for this special time of reflection and celebration this Sunday immediately following worship in the Fireside Room.

Become a member of Village Covenant Church

Beginning this Sunday, Laurie Cornell will be leading a membership class for all who are interested in becoming registered members of Village Covenant Church. Classes will be held at 9:15 AM in Laurie’s office for three Sundays: February 24, March 3, and March 11. In this class, attendees will learn about the origins of the Covenant tradition and the beliefs and practices that make up the Covenant denomination and set it apart from other branches of Christianity. Attendees will also learn about Village Covenant Church specifically, learning about how we operate as a church organization and what our missions and goals are for our congregation and the community around us.

If you are not yet a church member at Village, we sincerely hope you will consider attending. All are welcome and encouraged to attend! Please contact Laurie if you have any questions.

Annual Sweets for a Sweetie Auction & Fundraiser

This Sunday, February 18, The Cove youth group will be hosting Village’s annual Sweets for a Sweetie auction and fundraiser! Sweets for a Sweetie will be slightly after Valentine’s Day this year, due to Matt Mattoon’s candidate weekend this past weekend. But this means if you find yourself in a position of having forgotten to get your sweetie a Valentine’s gift, you’ll have a good excuse! You were just waiting to get them something at the auction, right?

Donations of sweets, candies, baked goods, and other treats (including ones without sugar!) will be gladly accepted this Sunday before worship! And, as always, all the funds raised from this event will go toward The Cove’s trip to CHIC this summer and other events and activities for the youth. Please contact Bekah if you have any questions.
