Anyone interested in going to the Gulf region to help in the rebuilding or repairing of homes devastated by recent hurricanes is invited to an information meeting on Wednesday, October 11, at 7:30 pm, in the parlor.
You don’t have to be a member of Covenant to go—all you need is a heart for helping! Those with skills in dry-walling, plumbing, etc. are especially needed, but any helping hands are welcome. Covenant is at 400 Lancaster Avenue (Route 30 between Exton and Paoli) Frazer, PA. Call the church office for more details: 610-648-0707.
The hurricanes may have moved to the back of your mind by now, but the need is still front and center for those whose homes are still in unliveable condition. Click on February 2006 in the Archives (left hand column) for some pictures of the devastation.

New News
The mission team of 1st Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia invited Covenant’s Adult Mission Team to come for lunch September 23rd and to share mission trip experiences. Our hosts served a delicious lunch with a Mexican flavor and Covenant provided dessert.
Both teams showed slides of their trips and told of their mission trip experiences. 1st Presbyterian’s team, which included three young people last year, visited a Mexican town, Ciudad Mante, under the auspices of Projecto Amistad, an organization that arranges for teams to help build relationships between Mexican and American Presbyterians and to assist with construction projects Mexican families need to improve their homes. The youth especially enjoyed games with their new Mexican friends and the opportunity to just “hang out” with other youth. Projecto Amistad also provides travel to other places in the area so teams can take part in various services and interactions with the people.
Covenant’s teams shared information about mission trips to West Virginia where they provide meals for youth teams who work in impoverished areas, to Mexico where last year they provided a wide variety of crafts for the women and also painted mission team dormitories, and to Jean Webster’s Kitchen in Atlantic City where they have helped serve lunch to the homeless and working poor.
A good time was had by all!!!
