MISSION TRIP
TO ZAMBIA
For the third year, Covenant, Austin Christians and e3Partners
will join Zambians in proclaiming the power and love of
Jesus. Come join in this church planting and medical mission
on July 16-29, 2008. You need no special skills to share
what God has done in your life with others. You will have
the opportunity to see the Holy Spirit at work in the
lives of those who go and those who receive. The medical
outreach team works in concert with the church planting
teams to create interest and provide living, compassionate
care. Last year, the Covenant team cared for more than
700 patients and fitted more than 600 pairs of eyeglasses
- all as gifts in the name of Christ. Our dental care
was a special blessing to many Zambians. We are praying
that a dentist will hear the call to be a part of this
team for 2008.
If you have interest or would like further information,
contact Suzanne McFarlane at smcf2222@austin.rr.com,
or Harold Skaggs at h_skaggs@att.net.
Easy
access to the Bible!
Come dive into Luke with the Caravan Class on Sunday mornings!
In each class we:
1. Read the scripture out loud
2. Discuss what it says
3. Consider how we may apply it to our lives.
We welcome talkers and listeners, as well as married and
single adults of all ages. Caravan meets every Sunday
at 9:30 a.m. in Sanctuary 104. For more information, contact

Pregnancy and Infant
Loss Support
This interdenominational group is open to any person
who has experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant
death. If you or someone you know has experienced a loss,
our group meets the second Monday of each month, from
6:30 to 8:00 p.m., in the church parlor. For more information,
contact Ashley Ellison, aellison@austin.rr.com,
or Shellie Crow, scrow@wabsa.com.
Childcare is available by advance reservation. Contact
Christy Milam at cmilam@covenant.org
to reserve childcare.
Men In
Transition
If you or a man you know is facing divorce, separation,
or other family challenge, a supportive group of men might
be helpful. We are men of different ages at varying stages
in the negotiation of these painful transitions. We meet
Mondays from 5:30-6:30pm. Our format is relaxed and flexible
and currently involves using Christ-centered readings to
spur thought and discussion. This group is not intended
as a substitute for mental health services but exists to
offer Christian support to brothers during a rough time.
Whether you are a member of the Covenant community or not,
you are welcome to join us. Contact Mark Trifiro with questions
and to confirm meeting place (275-6776 or mtrifiro@austin.utexas.edu.)
MoMs
Group
The MoMs (Mothers of Munchkins) group is a support group
for the mothers of young children. This group meets twice
a month in the parlor at 9:30 a.m. We will meet the 1st
and 3rd Mondays each month. Childcare reservations should
be made to Christy Milam at cmilam@covenant.org or 334-3020
at least 48 hours in advance. For more information on the
