field trips. Whew, what a workout! But our agents got the job done.
Congratulations to Morgan Stokes for completing six missions. He joined the ranks of others promoted to Special Agent 1st Class. Also, we welcome our Honorary General Jennifer Blanchard for going way beyond the call of duty by helping our agents with the sorting of the pumpkins. We would have been lost without you!
Special thanks to our agent parents who helped at our October meeting: Lesley Nutter, Jamie Keller, Kellie Kinsland, Stacy Purgahn, and Christy Chadick. MPKids will participate in the St. Jude's Bike-a-Thon on Saturday, November 6 here at Covenant. This will serve as our November meeting.
God has called us to reflect His love to one another. All the area United Methodist Churches in Lafayette come together to celebrate our thankfulness for each other and the homeless community who will join us in a Thanksgiving Feast on the parking lot of First United Methodist, downtown Lafayette. We need you to come help us serve and visit with our guests on Sunday, November 14th at 3:00pm. Bring large casseroles, desserts or bread because we feed around 300 people. IT IS A JOY!
The Fellowship Class is once again taking orders for Pecans — pieces, halves and beautifully foil-packaged gift bags of different kinds of delicious candied pecans — the perfect gift for friends and neighbors. Please place your order in the Narthex.
Now that Pumpkin Patch is almost over (*whew*), it'll be holiday season before we know it. All of the music ensembles are busy preparing Christmas music to make it the best year ever. I'm specifically looking forward to a New Childrens Pageant. Miss Jennifer is working with the kids on a very special program.
The Chancel Choir program will be Sunday morning, December 12th. "I Heard a Prophet Callin'", will heighten the anticipation of Advent. Handbells and Redeemed will be doing their part to make the season extra special.
And there is still more in the planning stages. I hope you enjoy all that our Music Department has to offer. I encourage you to sing loud and proud in worship as we praise our Creator and Redeemer. There are no bad voices in God's family.
God bless,
Ken Cheshire
