Someone wise …
… told me recently that working for justice and change can suck the life out of you. It’s also pretty tough on your family. Between January and November, my husband Matt was working on a Congressional campaign. It was a time when although I was amazingly proud of him and the work he was doing, I also felt the stress and strain of his long hours and high-pressure environment.
At Holy Covenant–where we’ve been attending for almost nine years–I felt an incredible amount of support during those months. Whether it was people asking me how Matt was doing, asking how I was doing, texting me from Grant Park to find out how things were going in Matt’s race or just saying a kind hello to me at worship … all of these things made me aware of just how important this place was to me. It was a community of people I could turn to who were not just friends and family to me, but who shared my faith in Matt and my belief in the importance of his work.

Cindy and Matt,
It’s great to hear you care enough to really get involved. You are the change we need in this struggling world of ours! We’ve watched you grow over the years at HCUMC and we are so proud of you both. The tough part of moving to Wyoming is missing our Holy Covenant family!
Know you are in our hearts and prayers always!
Peace and Love,
Sue and Al Forst
Working together we can bring our earth back to the home the creator entrusted to us, a home we will be pleased to pass on! Kudos Holy Covenant Family, you are an example of what that will be like!!!
