THOUGH THE YEAR hasn't been everything we've hoped it would be, the Covenant Christian Service Projects Committee is working hard on making a traditional(ish) service week a reality this year. In order to do this, we need your help. Mark your calendars and plan to enjoy a delicious “Thanks-GIVE-ing” turkey dinner on Thursday, March 4, 5:00 – 7:00 P.M. The drive- thru fundraiser will replace our annual catered Service Dinner and program this year. The turkey dinner meal cost is set at $10 for adults and $8 for children portions. We ask for your support to help us raise funds for our Covenant students to participate on their 2021 Service Week Trips scheduled (April 26-30). This will be our ONLY fundraiser for 2020-21 Service Week, thus like in previous years, we truly appreciate your freewill donation beyond covering the cost of the meal expense. If you are not able to come that night for our drive thru and wish to make a freewill donation, please send checks to DeMotte Christian Schools (or DMCS) with a note in the memo: CCHS Service Week. We thank you in advance for your continued support in helping make this week possible for our students. We ask for your prayers! “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8
