Serve


Covington in Action!

Although war in Ukraine is hundreds of thousands of miles away, our congregation - led by our youth - worked hard in 2023 to help those caught in the crossfire. Money from our mission budget and revenue generated from a jewelry making project were directed to the Slavic Pentecostal Church of Spencerport. In total, Covington has contributed nearly $13,000.  According to Pastor Gregory, 11 containers were sent to Ukraine in 2022 by their church alone. Each container costs upwards of $9,000 to ship, and have been packed with clothing, canned food, and even an MRI machine contributed by Binghamton area hospitals. Over 100 families have been relocated to the US. Job well done! But the need continues. Please look for ways that you can continue to serve the people of Ukraine through prayer and other outreach efforts.


Come See Our Quilt Collection


Thank you to Joe and Patti McIlroy for installing oak hooks and slats – designed by our own Mike Laurie - to support our quilt display in the church dining room. They are both beautiful and functional in reducing crowd noise. Quilts have been loaned by the family of Liz Noble, Kathy Baltz, Karen Milligan and Pat Lockwood. Our dining room received a major overhaul within the past 3 years making it perfect for hosting large and small events including our annual Pancake Supper on Election Day to family showers, reunions and other special events.

Kirkin' Tradition

We celebrate our Scottish heritage each fall with “The Kirkin' of the Tartans” during worship. Our faithful piper, Andrew Duncan, leads the festivities and the colorful plaids of our founders are proudly displayed. This is a fun opportunity for neighbors and members from multiple local churches to worship at Covington. Food and song are prominently featured! Stay tuned for our 2024 event in October.
