Eighteen new Covenant Partners were commissioned at Southwest Lutheran Church on Sunday, March 14.  The new Covenant Partners each received special blessings from their home church pastors.  The 18 new Covenant Partners represented 7 member churches.  Fourteen "seasoned" Covenant Partners also re-committed to serving for 2 more years as lay counselors.  The service of celebration was led by Cross Connections Executive Director, Pastor Tom Eggold.  The message was shared by Pastor David Maki of Southwest Lutheran Church.  The Bethlehem Men's Chorus shared in song.  A capacity crowd of family and friends attended the commissioning.  Southwest Lutheran Church members provided a cookies and punch reception after the service.  Congratulations to all the Covenant Partners who have committed to serving as lay counselors for Cross Connections!
