STATEMENT OF COVENANT
We covenant to acknowledge God's claim upon our lives and the work in the Covenant Association. We seek through this covenantal relationship:
- to share common ministry with authorized ministers and local churches.
- to affirm our faith in the living God, Eternal Spirit, Creator and Sustainer, who is revealed in the teachings,the person, and the work of Jesus as the Christ.
- to strengthen the ties of faith and community.
Notes from the Moderator:
The Covenant Association Spring meeting was held on a beautiful May Sunday afternoon in Chelsea. A wonderful lunch was provided for weary hungry travelers and fellowship ensued. Our Vice-moderator, Paul Heimnick, guided the discussions with thoughtful questions involving our theme:Hospitality.
We were sad to here that our former conference board chair, Vesta-Smith Campbell's sister past the day before the meeting. Also, the passing of Greg Smith of Ann Arbor was recognized. Clergy anniversaries were celebrated as well as Roger Poole's retirement at the end of May. New and standing officers were installed. Good News from various churches was shared and a plea went out for people to get on task teams and committees to spend budgeted monies for ministries!
Ruth Fitzgerald and the mission team that went to Nogales, Mexico to work with Borderlinks presented a meanifully moving program of their ministry experience. The worship experience was led by the Praise Team from the Chelsea St. Paul's Church and wrapped up with Holy Communion.
It was very much worth the trip for an afternoon of rich fellowship and worship.
Our Fall meeting will be held in Ovid. Plan to be there!
Faithfully submitted,
Jean Winther, Moderator
