Lutheran Church of the Covenant

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  Proverbs 3:5

15008 Cloverdale Road, Dale City, VA  22193         (703) 670-4242 

Invited and inviting—that is the nature of the church. By God’s grace in holy baptism we have a place at the banquet table of the Lord. When, by the power of that same Spirit, humility and mutual love continue among us, the church can be more inviting still.

 

Worship Servers: Each Sunday morning please meet in the workroom five minutes before the service begins for prayer with Pastor Tony and assisting minister.

 

Today’s altar flowers are given to the glory of God and contributed by John & Rita K in celebration of their anniversary AND by Warren & Cathi R in celebration of Warren’s birthday.

 

Our Piecemakers have made three beautiful quilts that you have an “opportunity” to win!  The Piecemakers are selling these “opportunities” on Sunday mornings before and after worship service.

$1 for 1 “opportunity” ticket
