Covenant World Relief Campaign- The prophet Micah asked, “What does the Lord
require?” Through the ministry of CWR, Covenanters are living the answer to: “Do justice,
love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.” CWR has served as the international
humanitarian aid and development arm of the Covenant since 1946. “Our mission is to
love, serve, and work together with the poor, powerless and marginalized in the name of
Jesus Christ.”
Please, take a CAN and giving calendar from the Narthex and join your church family as
we give to God to feed and care for His lambs.
Campaign Begins October 25 - Return Cans by November 15
