Rides to Church
Are you interested in giving someone a ride to church. If you would like to give members a ride to worship or if you would like a ride to worship, call Marijo Vols at 873-0622.
Funeral Luncheon Servers
One of the things we do as members of Covenant is walk alongside those who are grieving. One of the ways we do that is to serve a meal for grieving families and their friends following a funeral/memorial service. Would you be interested in helping? The tasks include setting the tables, sometimes making sandwiches, setting out the food and cleaning up. Let the church office know if you would like to be added to the list of volunteers to serve at funeral luncheons. It is a ministry of caring and compassion.
Extending the Table
Holy Communion for Homebound Members
Homebound Covenant Members can feel forgotten or isolated from our community of faith. Several members of Covenant share in taking the holy meal to the homebound to assist the pastor(s) in this vital ministry of belonging and caring. If you wish to serve in this ministry, please contact our office at 873-7494.

Quilters: Blanket Makers
Tuesdays at 8:30 AM
We like to think of ourselves as blanket makers, as we try to use two large pieces of cloth and a filler that we sew and tie together. The need is great world wide. Lutheran World Relief has increased its goal from 400,000 to 500,000 quilts for 2013. To help reach this goal we need your help. We’d love to have any-one interested come join us Tuesday mornings from 8:30-12:00. There are many jobs. You do not need to be a sewer. We are also in need of material, especially sheets and large pieces of fabric.
Transportation Ministry
Covenant Lutheran Church provides support to Stoughton United Ministries’ Affordable Transportation Program (ATP). This is a local non-profit that provides transportation to individuals of low income in the Stoughton Area School District in two ways—1) providing rides to/from Madison for significant appointments and 2) providing rides to/from the two local food pantries. Individuals of low income often don’t have a car or a reliable car and this program helps them meet some of their basis needs.
If you know of someone who could benefit from the transportation service of ATP, please have them call Richard Hoffman, Transportation Director, at 873-6112.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer for ATP, there are many opportunities, such as becoming a volunteer driver, a board member, assist in fundraising, and/or assist in marketing the program to clients and the overall community. Please call Joyce Kaplin, Covenant member, for further information—608-695-9661
