We are so grateful for the many people who come to worship and serve with us at Covenant. God, in his word, has called all of us to care for one another! In a church our size, there are many needs for care that arise. As members of the CPC family, we embrace the biblical principle of interdependence which means that all of us in our lives will not only, at times, need to be care receivers, but will also need to be caregivers.
Care Service Teams are comprised of members of the church willing to be contacted to share their time and talents with those in the body that are in need. Individuals are welcome to be a part of one or as many Care Service Teams as he or she would like. Being a part of a Care Service Team does not require you to respond to every request, but does give an opportunity to serve as you are able.
