Worship Connection May 2006

Dear Worship Connection subscriber,

Due to an extensive renovation of the Covenant website, we are unable to send you a spring newsletter issue. Your next Worship Connection electronic newsletter will arrive in early summer. In the meantime, we are making available an extensive summer events calendar as well as the worship designs and resources used during our Worship Connection event this past February.

To view the listing of worship events to be held this summer, scroll down on this email.

To access the designs and resources used for the Worship Connection event, go to http://beta.covchurch.org/formation/departmental-ministries/worship and look under "Current Projects and Services." Please understand that this is the beta version of the new site and is still under construction. At the same time, we welcome any feedback you care to give us.

With you on the journey,

Doreen L. Olson
Executive Minister
Dept. of Christian Formation
