CONGRATS MATTHEW!

Sending a HUGE Congratulations to Matthew Lederer, who is the recipient of the 2026 Jean A. Mortland Scholarship. Matthew is entering his junior year at the University of Kentucky, where he is pursuing dual degrees in Cello Performance & Psychology. Matthew hopes to use his education to help others through a future career in forensic psychology while continuing to share the gift of music with his community.


Established in 2007 to honor her love of music, education, and faith, the Jean A. Mortland scholarship is awarded annually to support an individual pursuing degrees in music or theology who shows vocational excellence. Funded by her bequest and donations.

"The Plowshare Prayer"

We love to collaborate with local musicians whenever we can and are blessed with many musical members at Covenant. This piece highlights Covenant members Pei-An Chao on cello, Allie Garner on vocal solo, guest Andrew Garner on acoustic guitar, Covenant Assistant Director of Music, Katie Wynkoop on piano, and local actor and singer Brian Gray on solo harmony. The Covenant Chancel choir sings under the direction of Cherie Brooks, Covenant Director of Music.  

The piece, "Plowshare Prayer," is an earnest prayer from the heart of singer-songwriter, Spencer LaJoye.  Arranged by local musician, Nate Terry, Music Director from Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio, this choral rendition of "Plowshare Prayer" was commissioned by Indianola Presbyterian Church and debuted by their choir.

This recording is from the Covenant Maundy Thursday service in 2023.  
This is what we mean when we say music IS worship...
