Our middle son Dan is a senior at Covenant, and has greatly enjoyed his years of study, living on campus, playing intercollegiate basketball and tennis, frequently leading our singing in chapel, and getting to know a grand group of friends.

After much searching, Dan decided to major in interdisciplinary studies, selecting coursework from the English, French, and music departments. This major has enabled him to pursue a variety of interests in literature, writing, languages, and music composition and performance. As he looks toward next year, he is investigating positions as coach and teacher in a secondary school, hoping to find a place where through his gifts and knowledge and experience he can make a worthwhile contribution both in the classroom and on the athletic field.

On Tuesday last week (Feb. 5), we set aside our regular schedule for our Day of Prayer. Twice a year, once during the fall semester and once during the spring, the Covenant College community gathers in various groups and settings throughout the day to focus on the ministry of praying – for one another, for the church, for our country, for the world.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 guided our minds and hearts –

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
