Sunday, June 7
Covenant, Joel 2:28

A special service the first Sunday in June included a litany recognizing our founding members, birthday wishes from Covenant's former ministers, and choir performances from our adult and children's choir. 

A special anthem for Covenant was commissioned by Jim & Fran Avera. Written by Rob Landes, "I Will Pour Out My Spirit" is based on the words of Joel 2:28. Listen to our choir sing this inspirational piece of music.
Other musical pieces of the service included the Children's Choir singing "Day by Day" and the "Covenant Hymn" sung by 3 amazing soloists:  Casey Gambill Okabayashi, Eric Avera and Joyce Courtois.
