board of shepherds

The Board of Shepherds at Covenant Church is a group of men and women who provide additional pastoral support for the members, friends and visitors of the church.
  • The Shepherds function as listeners, communicators and initiators of appropriate pastoral action.
  • The Shepherds make monthly calls to the people to congratulate them on their birthday or anniversary.
  • We provide meals and transportation for those who need this support during times of recovery.  Sometimes this may mean others besides Shepherds would provide this support.
  • We provide support during pregnancy and birth.
  • We present a rose to each individual who is baptized and we contribute spiritual articles for the Caring Corner of the KEY Newsletter.
  • We provide to the congregation the “Daily Word” which are devotional booklets.
  • We make phone calls, visit and send cards to support those in need.
  • We will go with the pastor to assist with communion (elders on the board) in homes, hospitals or nursing homes.
  • We participate with an on-call-Shepherd each month for emergency or critical care visits, as back up to the pastor’s visits.
  • We help 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 first Sunday of the month, immediately after worship in room W-4.  If any of this sounds of interest, you are invited to attend a Board of Shepherds meeting.  Email church@wdmcovenant.org for more information.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
