Where You Belong

Mark L. Joseph PhD

Mark will share his Everyday Antiracism framework to help advance racial equity and racial justice. He'll talk about ways we can make meaningful progress through a shift of mindset and through daily actions, small and large. His talk will have implications for each of us individually, in small groups, and as a congregation. He will also bring copies of his book Changing The Narrative: Short Stories To Advance Everyday Antiracism for purchase.

Trunk or Treat is a safe Halloween event for neighborhood children and their families. Guests meander among cleverly decorated car trunks within the safety of our cordoned off parking lot, receiving treats at each stop. Following Trunk or Treating, they are directed to the lower patio to make s’mores around a well-staffed fire pit. A dinner of chili and cornbread in Dowd Commons is their next stop. We never know WHO may arrive to share some not-so-scary Halloween stories.

How can you get involved? We are looking for 15-20 decorated trunks to welcome our visitors, so clean out your trunk and allow the Halloween muses to inspire you. Don’t have the time or energy to decorate your car trunk but would like to help in another way? We need indoor crew to accept chili and cornbread donations, reheat the chili, slice the cornbread, decorate the dining room, and serve guests when they arrive. And since your car will already be here, our able college volunteers would be more than happy to decorate and staff your trunk! All told, we are looking for 8-10 cornbread bakers, 10-12 chili makers, and a dozen or so candy donors. A sign-up sheet detailing the volunteer opportunities will be in the Reception Room on the next two Sundays and in the church office in between.

Bring your lunch and invite a friend to enjoy a 40-minute concert in the Covenant Sanctuary, featuring Covenant’s two remarkable pipe organs: the 19-rank Newberry Organ by Richards, Fowkes & Co. and the four-manual Chancel Organ by E.M./Aeolian-Skinner.
