Annual Covenanting 2026
At JSMC, if you are actively participating in congregational life and consider us to be your church family, we consider you a member and a part of our community of faith!
If you are a member who was not able to attend our two covenanting Sundays, you are strongly encouraged to write your name on a paper leaf and put it in the basket to be glued onto the tree. (Or, if needed, email Mary at mlapp@jsmchurch.org and she will write your name on a paper leaf for you.)
In lieu of formal membership, each year we engage in what we call covenanting. We speak to what we believe God is calling us to in the year ahead. We then invite each person to how they might participate in congregational life and ministry in the year ahead.
Each member is an important part of living out our mission, vision, and values. We have all been given different gifts and passions with which to serve Christ and the world. We are all invited to respond based on how and where the Spirit is nudging us to actively engage in worship, community, and mission.
This year, our annual covenanting Sundays were January 11 with the theme of Creating a New Thing (Isaiah 43:18-21 – click HERE for the Live Stream) and January 18 with the theme of The Wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11 – click HERE for the Live Stream). We invite each person to review our JSMC mission and renew your commitment to our vision. (Click HERE to see JSMCs Mission, Vision and Values statement.)
