Summer Sunday Worship
Covenant Harbor Summer Sunday Worship Services
Come for worship in the tent and stay for the afternoon!
This summer we are pleased to again partner with one of our local churches, Anchor Covenant Church, in our Worship Tent. Anchor Covenant Church’s worship team will lead the service. Preaching will alternate between Anchor’s Pastor, Melissa Wall, and guest preachers.
After the 10:30 a.m. service, guests are welcome to purchase a grilled lunch at the Lakeside Cafe or picnic on Covenant Harbor’s front lawn. Swimming in the shallow end will be open for up to 2 hours each Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the grounds until 4:00 p.m. each Sunday, at which time we will transition to our next week of summer camp.
Whether you are dropping off your camper, live down the street, have attended Summer Sunday services for years or are looking for a new place to worship this summer, we invite you to join us. All are welcome.
