INTRODUCTION
Dear friends:
One of life’s richest experiences
is to be caught unaware by a
holy moment. These moments
come more frequently when I’m
practicing spiritual disciplines
such as prayer, solitude and study,
but even then they emerge in the
most unexpected ways. This time
it was in a public meeting about
a consultant’s report. We were
discussing Covenant’s worship life, going over charts and
numbers (not my favorite thing), analyzing trends — most
favorable, some unfavorable — and feeling some discomfort
over their implications.
When the presenting team invited comment, several people
asked clarifying questions, a few others made constructive
suggestions. But then, one person stood calmly and said with
humble conviction, “My family and I have made the personal
choice to worship together because we believe it is the most
intimate and important act we can do together.”
Meet Elder J.D. DuPuy
The room fell into holy silence.
Personal choice. Worship. Intimate. Important. Together.
What a powerful combination of words.
After all our studying and consulting, all the charts and
graphs, all the fretting and debating and proposing about
schedules, a quiet, faithful woman in the back of a meeting
cut to the core of it. Worship is a matter of personal choice
and priority. A matter of cultivating intimate relationships
with God and those we love. A matter of deciding what’s
really most important and aligning our lives accordingly.
I hope you’ll think about it. I certainly have.

HOLY WEEK
From Palm Sunday to Easter, we celebrate this special season in our life of
faith together. Join us and invite a friend to any of our Holy Week events:
• Maundy Thursday, April 17, 7 p.m., prelude
at 6:40. Saving Love, Hope for the World. A
worship experience integrating the celebration
of the Lord’s Supper, prayer, drama, dance,
visual art and music.
• Good Friday, April 18, 7 p.m. The Covenant
Choir, soloists and strings present “Wondrous
Cross,” by Alan Bullard, a contemporary British
composer. The musical setting includes
opportunities for congregational singing,
readings and prayers.
• Saturday, April 19, 10 a.m. Kindergartners
present the Easter story in the Sanctuary,
followed by a “new life” petting zoo and Easter
egg hunt for preschool through kindergartenage children.
• Easter, April 20, 9:30 a.m. (contemporary
and traditional) and 11 a.m. (traditional) will
feature special music and Easter celebrations.
Please bring flowers to the green on Easter morning
as we adorn the cross in celebration.
Gladly Welcoming All People
by Ann Ayers
“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers…”
Hebrews 13:2
Visitors to Covenant often remark about the warm
welcome they receive. On a typical Sunday, we have
more than 50 guests, some first-time and some
returning. During Holy Week, we’ll certainly have many
more coming to our worship services.
Our hospitality can begin before we get out of the car.
By parking aross Morehead Street or a little farther
from the door, we leave room for visitors to come near.
Welcoming someone you don’t recognize with a smile
and “It’s good to see you this morning!” is a great
way to show hospitality to guests and maybe meet a
member you don’t yet know.
Walking a newcomer to the Visitor Table is a great
extension of cordiality. There, our Hospitality Team
offers a “Welcome” bag, which includes a color map of
the campus, description of our three Sunday worship
services, a list of education opportunities for all ages,
a copy of Covenant News, and other up-to-date
information about programs and activities.
Especially at Easter, our members’ hospitality can
extend Christian hope to all and in so doing convey that
Covenant is centered on God’s love and, therefore,
welcomes all people into a transformational experience
of faith.

MISSION & OUTREACH
ENCOUNTER ministries are easy
entry points into the life and mission
at Covenant.
Volunteers prepared gardens for spring planting at Friendship Gardens for our initial Second
Saturday project in March. Watch for more opportunities for service, fun and fellowship.
Second Saturdays
Create worship arts and welcome banner
April 12, 10 - 11:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary
This month, we’ll gather volunteers of all ages to make origami doves and a welcome
banner to promote peace and welcome our Holy Land guests who will be traveling to
Charlotte this fall following our students’ visit in May.
Liven up your summer:
Host a Stapleton-Davidson intern
Each summer Covenant, in partnership with Davidson College, hosts college
students who spend the summer engaged in intense urban ministry with
nonprofit agencies in our community. This program has proven to be a win-win
situation for both interns and their host families, often providing the starting
point for long-lasting relationships.
Contact Carla Leaf or Petra Wahnefried if you’re interested in learning more.
Be a Camp Parent
Remember nights by the campfire and days swimming and running in the
sunshine? Summer camp can be a transforming experience for children, and we’re
helping elementary students share a camp experience this summer.
Covenant will send 30 hard-working Highland Renaissance Academy students to
Camp Harrison for a week to learn, grow and enjoy summer in a new way.
Camp parents are needed to assist families with the paperwork at Camp Night on
April 8 and to ensure the students have everything they need for camp, give them
a ride to/from the church to catch the bus to camp if needed, and write them a
letter of encouragement while they are away.
If you’re interested in being a camp parent, or a bus driver to drive the kids to
camp, please contact Petra Wahnefried.

ENGAGE ministries invite people
to take a step further in creating
change.
EMBRACE ministries take people
a step further in the challenges
of faith, wrapping arms around
someone in need and making them
feel loved.
Meals at Men’s Shelter
This year, we will be providing meals
for both Men’s Shelter campuses on
every fifth Tuesday (including April
29). This opportunity arose from a
significant need: Quite simply – there
was not enough food for the number
of hungry people.
In response, we’re doubling the
amount of Texas Hash and desserts
that we have made in the past. This
is a great opportunity to serve with
family, friends, or a church or school
group. The recipe for Texas Hash is on
the website under the Serve tab.
Bring casseroles or desserts to the
freezer in Fellowship Hall. As always –
thank you for sharing your gifts!

40 DAYS OF FOCUS: SEEKING PEACE
With daily times for prayer, devotional readings, spiritual practices, walking
and more, Lent has proven a season for peaceful exploration and growth. It’s
not too late to join in our focus on peace in our hearts, homes, city and world.
Appalachia Service Project
• Spiritual practices: Each week offers a focus on
a spiritual practice: Presence/Connectedness,
Sabbath, Meditation/Centering Prayer, Gratitude,
and Confession/Reconciliation.
• Stories of peace from members serve as daily
devotions. Read online each day or subscribe via
email at 40daysoffocus.blogspot.com.
• Prayer in the chapel. The chapel will be open
Monday through Thursday, through April 10, from
7-9 a.m., 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. for prayer
and reflection.
• Small groups and study resources bring a variety
of authors and insights into the promise of peace
for us individually and with one another.

Steve Helms.
A Covenant team returned to Jonesville, Va., for a fourth winter,
working with families in the region who live in poverty. The
week was rich in relationships among the team and in the
community, as volunteers re-visited friends from earlier trips
and met new neighbors.
“This year, as in the past, I was taught by our families how to
receive help gracefully and how to extend hospitality,” said
Jerry Jernigan.
• Recreation and health will coordinate a “walk to
Bethlehem,” as we pray for peace in our world
and highlight our partnership and exchange
program with Christmas Lutheran Church.
• Make a dove. If you enjoy crafts, join a group
making origami doves as a symbol of peace
on Thursday evenings from 6-7 p.m. in the
Sanctuary Building conference room. The doves
will be used in worship arts later this year.
Sandra Boozer added, “Words and photos can’t possibly
capture all of the love, joy, and laughter that was shared
among brothers and sisters in Christ during our ASP mission
trip. God’s overwhelming presence I experienced last week
will be something I will carry forever in my heart, far past the
mountains of Virginia.”

RECREATION & HEALTH
FROM THE
PARISH NURSE
Many people
are aware of
the signs of
stroke. One
easy way to
remember
them is the
word FAST,
which is how
you should respond to the onset of
any of these symptoms. Call 911 fast.
• F- Face drooping
• A- Arm (or leg) weakness or
numbness
• S- Speech difficulty (slurring or
confusion), asymmetric tongue
thrust or smile
• T- Time to call 911
Many people may not know that
you need to respond the same way
whether the symptoms resolve
quickly or not. A transient ischemic
attack (TIA), also known as a ministroke, presents with the same
symptoms as a stroke. A TIA lasts less
than 24 hours, often less than five
minutes, and causes no permanent
damage. However, a TIA should be
viewed as an important warning.
About a third of people experiencing a
TIA will have a stroke within a year if
left untreated.
A TIA is an opportunity to seek
treatment to prevent a more serious
stroke. If you suspect someone is
having a stroke, have the person lift
his or her arms and watch for uneven
response. Have the person smile and
stick out his or her tongue and see if
either appears lopsided. Ask a simple
question, such as today’s date, and
listen for a clear answer.
If you suspect trouble, it’s better
to call 911. Stroke treatment can
be effective, but must be initiated
promptly. I wish each of you a healthy
and happy spring!
Take care,
Mary Mattiacci
