The church stores its sound system and nursery equipment in the trailer,  which was parked behind an apartment in a gated community.<\/p>\n<p>The pastor of Embassy Family Church told the local news station that his  congregation was eager to help. &#8220;They&#8217;re part of the body of Christ,&#8221;  said Pastor Jose Rodriquez. &#8220;They&#8217;re family members. Because of that we  felt compelled that we needed to help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Castle Hills First Baptist Church has donated money to the church. Life  Covenant and Westmoore Community Covenant Church and Life Covenant  Church in Oklahoma are among the churches that already have donated  funds. Other Covenant churches have offered support, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Those interested in learning more about the need and ways to help can  call Soma at 210-833-0076 or Garth Bolinder, superintendent of the  Southeast Conference, at 918-361-3531.<\/p>\n<p>Donations can be directed to Connection Covenant Church, P.O. Box  701332, San Antonio, TX, 78270-1332. A special account has been  established at a San Antonio bank where all donations will be deposited,  Bolinder notes. &#8220;And should there be any excess funds donated, they will  be re-directed to the conference church planting fund,&#8221; Bolinder says.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s note: to read an earlier story about Connection Covenant&#8217;s  ministry, please see <a href=\"http:\/\/old.covchurch.org\/cov\/news\/item4161.html\">What Can  Christians Learn from TV?<\/a> Information about the church&#8217;s ministries  also is available by visiting the church website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.connectionchurch.tv\/\">Connection Covenant.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/newswire?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=7817&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN ANTONIO, TX (April 19, 2006) &#8211; Evangelical Covenant Churches and congregations from other denominations already have been donating money to help Connection Covenant Church replace $12,000 worth of equipment stolen on Palm Sunday.
