CROP WALK INFO...

This message is for all who showed interest in walking in this Sunday's CROP Walk. I think it will be a great day! Just wanted to give you -some last minute information. If this reaches others who have not signed up, please see Randy at church on Sunday

-A group of us will be meeting at the church around 1 PM to caravan/carpool to Christ The King Lutheran Church in Cary (the starting/ending point for the event). All are welcome to join us at the church or you can meet us there. Make sure you bring your sponsorship form/money with you as it will need to be turned in before the event.

-The walk begins at 2 PM. It looks to be a 2 mile loop - you have the option of walking it 1, 2, or 3 times (3x being roughly 10 km). Please arrange for pick-up according to your mileage preference/time frame.

-Work diligently to obtain as many sponsorships as possible, we are trying to beat last year's total of $810.

-Invite your friends, neighbors, & family.

-If you cannot make the event, please prayerfully consider sponsoring one of the walkers or finding others to sponsor one of the walkers.

I will be walking all 10 kms and will be happy to drive back to the church if necessary, simply let me know before Sunday if you need a ride back to the church after the event.


Thanks to all of you & see you on Sunday!

Trunk or Treat... Help!

Hello Covenant! Many of you may already know Covenant’s annual Trunk or Treat is coming up and we want to “spruce it up” a little bit so as to keep things fresh & exciting. We are looking for a dunking booth, popcorn machine, inflatable slide or bouncer, or cotton candy machine to add to our already stellar line-up. We are also open to other suggestions and new ideas – so if you have any contact Randy at the church (919) 368-2428 or e-mail him at randy-ccc@bellsouth.net. Trunk Or Treat has been, for a couple of years, a big event that draws quite a crowd. We would like build it up even more and really show the Covenant family and its surrounding community that we are here to serve & love others by offering fun, fellowship, & food.

CROP WALK - This Sunday (10/4)

On October 4th @ 2 PM, the annual Cary CROP Walk will begin and end at Christ the King Lutheran Church. Registration begins at 1 PM, the walk/run begins at 2 PM. Last year we had a nice turnout and tons of support. I would like to see us surpass our giving from last year. Covenant raised just over $800 last year which is a wonderful feat, however, our goal this year is to surpass the $900 mark. All who are able please join. Those who cannot, please sponsor one of our walkers/runners. A little support goes a long way! For more information about participating or supporting please contact Randy Holste at the church office (919)481-4715 or randy-ccc@bellsouth.net
