Each church has a unique story to tell that informs it ministry today and going forward. A Guide to Archives for Local Covenant Churches is a resource to help congregations gather and preserve their stories. It is designed for all churches—from those that have no policy for saving records to those that have a long-established archives program. It includes information on selecting, arranging, processing, preserving, and storing materials of various types, from print to digital.

An important source of congregational history is found among those who lived it. A Guide to Collecting Oral History for Local Covenant Churches helps congregations collect the stories of their members through interviews. It gives direction on how to conduct an interview—how to establish rapport and what kind of questions to ask—as well as what equipment to use, how to transcribe and save the interview, and what kind of release forms an interviewer should prepare.

Lent Materials for Covenant Kids Congo

Christ Revealed: Praying Through Life as a Sacrament provides an opportunity to reflect on the sacramental nature of our lives. As Christians, this pattern of Holy Communion becomes our sacred reality and rhythm. We share in the taking, blessing, breaking, and giving of Christ for the sake of our neighbor and world. Through the continued gift of his Spirit, Christ joins us on the journey. He reminds us of who he is, to whom we belong, and inspires us to go and share the news with others.
