Serving 400 men who are experiencing homelessness every night, the Men's Shelter of Charlotte is a vital part of the fabric of our city. There are simple ways to aid our neighbors whom we may not often encounter: Serving dinner at the Statesville Ave. shelter every first Monday, and every 5th Tuesday (March 29). You can also make Texas Hash for our group to take to the Tryon St. location. It is easy and fun to make with family or friends, and can be made any time and placed in the Local Outreach freezer at Covenant. Recipes can be found on our website.

Looking for a rewarding and meaningful way to start off your day? Before you head to work on every fourth Thursday (3/31) of the month, come briefly greet and extend a comforting breakfast to our neighbors who are facing the overwhelming stress of housing or financial crises as they wait at Crisis Assistance Ministry. Please contact Sue Dickson or Amy Magid for more information. 

Many of us can still recall the feelings of sheer joy from the fun-filled days of summer camp - whether as a child 50 years ago or witnessed in our own children's stories. Volunteering as "Summer Camp Parents" to coordinate with the families and make sure the kids get to camp, we have the opportunity to help our children at Highland Renaissance Academy, who may not have the chance to explore outside the Charlotte city limits and experience new, exciting environments and the beauties of creation. Imagine the accomplishment of learning to swim or kayak for the first time, the peace of not worrying about the security of one's food or shelter, and the freedom and joy of a safe, beautiful outside space to be a child... what a gift it would be. Our weeks of camp will be June 19-25, and June 26-July 2. We will meet with camp families on Tuesday, April 12, 5:30 p.m. at Highland. For more information, please contact Evan Amo.

Our favorite "Party with a Purpose" returns this year but with a different look!  Designed to be more interactive, we will offer art activities for children to benefit our teachers at Highland Renaissance Academy, music by our contemporary worship team musicians, our Artists' Market, Bake Sale and Black Box & Live Auction items. JD DuPuy and Chris Lam will entertain us during the Auction while we enjoy a meal together. Lots of fun surprises are being planned!

All proceeds go towards high school and adult mission trips as well as our mission partners. Also available for a $20 donation towards efforts at Highland and Renguti School will be the new Worship Team music CD!  We are currently accepting donations of art, handmade crafts, and items for our Black Box and Live Auctions. Contact Carla Leaf for more information. 

Our children's and youth ministries rely on a team of volunteers to make everything run smoothly each week. In the coming month, we need hall greeters on each floor, shepherds to assist teachers, and Crib and Toddler room assistants to help our babysitter staff.  You can sign up for the date and activity of your choice using VolunteerSpot.com.
