Harbor Covenant, we represent a wide range of ages and
experience. We respect and love our senior members, and
express that by providing a wealth of opportunities for
them to fellowship, to continue growing, and to be
served as needs arise.

hospital for an extended time.

companionship or attention, to allow some release time
to the primary caregiver.
Soup Brigade
Soup Brigade
The Soup
Brigade makes and stocks the church freezer with batches
of soup, ready for emergency needs such as when a senior
returns from the hospital or is sick. The visit that
comes along with the soup delivery is a big part of the
ministry. Call the church office to request soup. (Lots
of joy in the making and delivery too!)
