Covenant Community Update
update April 29, 2020
We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and will be posting updates here as they are available.
While there continue to be challenges related to this global pandemic, we are encouraged as we see many positive signs that we are returning to some form of normalcy. We are grateful to the Lord for His goodness throughout this situation.
This week, Governor Greg Abbott announced his plan for a carefully thought-out, methodical process for reopening Texas businesses beginning May 1, including the possibility for churches to meet under very strict guidelines and social-distancing protocols.
We have heard from many of you asking, “What does this mean for Covenant Church, and when will we be able to meet in person again?â€
Our greatest concern is for the safety and well-being of our CovFamily, our guests, and our community. We want to honor and respect our governmental authorities and the advice of noted medical experts as to when it is safe to return to corporate worship. We also want to be cautious as to when we begin meeting in person, so we can avoid any setbacks.
For now, we plan to continue holding our Covenant Church services online through the end of May. We’ll also continue offering engaging online experiences for kids and students, virtual small groups and social media encouragements. Our staff and pastors will continue to reach out to our CovFamily through calls, texts and emails – checking to make sure we are all safe and sound. This has worked well and has allowed us all to remain safe while still being able to worship and experience God’s presence at home.
We encourage you to join us online each weekend. Invite your friends and family to watch with you as you set time aside to honor God and worship with your CovFamily.
In the coming weeks, as the situation evolves and regulations change, we will provide additional updates. We pray God continues to give you a spirit of peace, increase your faith, and provide for your every need.

BE ENCOURAGED
While we exercise wisdom in keeping ourselves and our loved ones safe, we know that divine health and protection is from Jesus. Let’s continue to trust and pray His promises of protection found in Psalm 91 over ourselves, our families, and all those who are affected by illness. We believe and agree that the virus will be contained and conquered.
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling.
Psalm 91:9–10
