Calendar
Covington definitely has our traditions, especially at the holidays, but three events are our claim to fame. Our community counts on VBS in July. Each fall we celebrate our Scottish roots with a Kirkin’ of the Tartans. In November, we throw open the doors on Election Day for a pancake supper fundraiser. Speaking of food, at Easter, we host a community sunrise breakfast and every third Sunday of the month we have a social hour following worship. Children’s Day is also a special time for our multi-generational families as the school year comes to a close. Euchre is a fun activity that often brings us together for tournaments, and our corn hole boards are always ready to go.
We are an active church that is dedicated to growing our bonds of fellowship and serving our community where and when we can. Beginning in 2025, we’re becoming known as the cereal church… collecting boxes of cereal donations for the Gopher Grub program at the Pavilion Food Pantry. Our Valentine’s Concert on February 15 brought in 75 boxes of cereal… equaling almost 500 bowls or servings!
Our Lenten Bible study is underway: “Meeting Jesus on the Road.” Join us at Covington or online. See details here.

What’s a Kirkin’?
In 2025, Covington will celebrate our 20th Annual Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan. This is a hearty tradition celebrated throughout the US and Canada by those of Scottish descent. The term kirk is the Scots word for 'church', and we have great fun blessing the tartans of our founders. At our 19th annual Kirkin’, our piper Andrew Duncan threw out a challenge question. How many parts does a bagpipe have? Twenty! And no part – not the chanter reed responsible for the melody, nor the bag holding air, the blowsticks, or the musician are more important than the other. You need all 20 to make that crazy, loud, haunting sound. There’s a message here. God created us equal, but with unique qualities. When we all come together, something beautiful and LOUD can happen!
