Special Guest Preacher visiting Village Covenant

On Sunday, May 6, Village Covenant will be host to a very special guest: Gary Walter, President of the Evangelical Covenant Church! (That’s right, he’s not just Lauren Neely’s dad!) Gary will be here visiting for Mark Neely who is finally (finally!) graduating. However, Gary is also set to retire from his position soon, and as one of his final official acts before he retires, he specifically requested to be able to do a sermon at Village Covenant Church. It just so happened to work out rather serendipitously that way!

Gary has a long history with Village Covenant Church. He was a youth pastor here back when our own Kevin Leissner was in the youth group. He was actually Kevin’s very first youth pastor at that time! Beyond that, Gary has had a strong working relationship with Pastor Mario of our sister church, Vision de Garcia Covenant. Plus, of course, most recently, his daughter and son-in-law, Lauren and Mark, had been working here at Village for several years.

I think it’s probably safe to say this will feel a bit like a homecoming for Gary.
We hope you can make it out to see him!

The Cove Yard Sale Fundraiser

*The yard sale date has been moved back to May 19!

The Cove 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, we would encourage you 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 funds raised from this event will go toward The Cove’s trip to CHIC this summer and other events and activities for the youth.
