board of shepherds

The Board of Shepherds at Covenant Church
Shepherds is a group of men and women who provide additional pastoral support for the members, friends, and visitors of the church. Some of the key functions of the Shepherds are:
  • To function as listeners, communicators and initiators of appropriate pastoral action.
  • Making calls or send cards to the members of our flocks to congratulate them on their birthday or anniversary.
  • Providing meals  for those who need this support during times of recovery. 
  • To present a rose to each individual who is baptized. 
  • Providing to the congregation the “Daily Word” which are devotional booklets.
  • To make phone calls, visit and send cards to support those in need.
  • To keep in contact with shut-ins.  
  • Helping with funeral and memorial worship services.  We give support to the grieving family by providing a reception and frequently a meal after the worship service.
The Shepherds’ goal is to fulfill our mission statement of “lifting one another through loving and caring relationships for the glory of God.”
The board meets the last Sunday of the month.
