ROOTS WINTER 2018 NEWSLETTER

HS MISSION EXPERIENCE // March 23rd – March 24th // Fri 5:00pm-Sat 6:00pm

Jesus calls us to feed those in need, to care for the orphans, and to love on the outcast.  This is a mini-mission experience where the High School youth will get to serve those in need in a variety of fashions.

On Friday we will drive up to Dolores Park Covenant Church in San Francisco to play games, worship, and dive deep into the word with the Dolores Park Youth Group.

We will be exploring what it means to live for Jesus in our everyday lives.   On Saturday we will be partnering with a few organizations to serve and love on those in need.  We will be serving several thousand homeless.  After a day of serving, we will head back to Covenant Grove.

We are driving via car. We will be in groups the whole time.

CHIC // Covenant High in Christ

  July 15th-20th //

CHIC began with a dream to gather Covenant people together to praise God, share in a rich time of fellowship and encourage each other in faith. CHIC is an incredible experience that comes once every three years. For five jam-packed days, we are privileged to hear from gifted speakers, sing praises to God (six thousand voices strong!), engage with the Word of God, and interact with others from around the world.

Where is CHIC // CHIC will be held at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, July 15–20, 2018. Thousands of students and adults from around North America and abroad will gather for a week of worship, interacting with God’s Word, learning experiences, service, new friendships, and fun.  CHIC really is a life-changing event, and I want you to join us for it.

For More Info, check out the CHIC website at chicconference.org.  *All registrations will be done through Covenant Grove Church*

What is the Cost of CHIC // For the actual event, CHIC costs approximately $600. (The exact cost is in flux until August.) In addition, there are transportation costs and excursion costs. The actual housing and food for a week on the campus of UT is $450. The other $150–$200 goes into programing—well-known bands, talented speakers, security, Base Camp experiences, etc.

CHIC is a huge investment as it costs $599 + airfare/transportation, so we have payment plans setup and fundraisers to help offset the costs.

$599 for CHIC + Transportation, Meals during Travel, and other Expenses.

The cost is not to exceed $1200.
