BUILDING THE BELOVED COMMUNITY

Whether through potlucks, picnics, retreats, or a glass of lemonade after the service, there are many ways to connect with this caring, joyful, and active community. Read below for more information on some of the ways that we gather together.

post-worship potlucks

All are invited to our potluck lunches! Held occasionally immediately following the worship service, our potlucks are a great opportunity to spend informal time together over a delicious meal. Our potlucks are plant-based and include a "Newcomers Table" where visitors can meet leaders in the community and learn more about Church of the Covenant. 

all-church retreat

Each year, our community ventures outside Boston for a 1- or 2-day weekend retreat located at peaceful and beautiful nearby retreat centers. The retreats always include time for games, art, worship, prayer, and free time to enjoy nature and one another.

LIFE ALIVE (20s-40s) fellowship and retreats

College students, grad students, and young professionals in their 20s, 30s, and 40s gather monthly in a variety of ways to enjoy good food, community building, and faith-focused conversation. We talk about social issues, visit local organizations, support one another's faith journeys, and nurture deep connections. In recent years, our gatherings have included an annual retreat to Cape Cod, outings to sites and museums around Boston, and shared meals.

Newcomers, friends, and friends of friends are always welcome. Please be in touch with the Life Alive Leadership team to learn more at [email protected].

small groups, teams, and committees

From justice to hospitality, to finances, and historic preservation, we have a small group or committee for just about everything! Our groups and committees are a great way to plug into the community at Covenant. Please email us at [email protected] or speak with one of the pastors to learn more about what groups are forming and which one might be a good fit for you.
