Two services scheduled for James R. Hawkinson
 Two services are planned for James R. Hawkinson who died May 24 in a St. Paul hospital from complications following surgery on May 5.
Hawkinson served a number of Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC) pastorates as well as numerous Covenant boards and commissions, but is perhaps best known for his 28 years serving as executive secretary of the former Covenant Publications department and as editor of The Covenant Companion.
Visitation will be observed this coming Sunday, May 29, from 2 to 6 p.m. at Salem Covenant Church, 2655 Fifth Street NW in New Brighton, MN, with a funeral service scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 30, at Salem Covenant Church.
A memorial service will be conducted at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, June 1, at North Park Covenant Church, 5250 N. Christiana Ave. in Chicago, Ill.

North Minneapolis tornado relief
The Sanctuary Covenant Church and The Sanctuary CDC continue to work with other nonprofit organizations to help clear the damage left by a tornado that ripped through North Minneapolis on Sunday. City officials estimated the twister caused at least $166 million in damage, but expect that figure to rise as they continue to assess the situation. They also reported that more than 600 buildings will need major repairs, with 35 homes destroyed.
The Sanctuary has set up a page on its website with a resource sheet and updates on volunteer and financial needs for the relief efforts. If you or your church are interested in opportunities to help, visit the site now. |
NWC Church Resource Bank
One great feature of the new Northwest Conference website is our ability to connect churches with specific needs, with those who have resources to share. The site features a "Church Resource Bank," and our vision for this page is that churches with items or resources (e.g. curriculum, equipment, other assets) they no longer have need for would post them for those who might find the resources helpful. If you think your church has something to share, please email What's Available, Church Name, a Brief Description, and Contact Information, to Cheryl at the Northwest Conference office. If your church has a need, remember to check back often for new postings. |
