St. Mary’s and Wilson Memorial Union Church entered into a Covenant agreement on January 22, 1978.  The two churches in Watchung have shared a covenant of ecumenical activity since then.  We come together twice a year, in the Spring and on Thanksgiving Eve to renew this covenant and to share worship and fellowship.  The Christian Unity Celebration in the Spring includes a concert followed by dinner.  The Covenant Committee sponsors 2-3 Blood drives each year and contributes to Covenant House, Newark and St. Ann’s Soup Kitchen.  
 
Per The Covenant, “In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we hereby commit ourselves to work together in the spirit of cooperation, love and understanding, to preserve the Christian traditions and values we share in our homes and in the community; to seek social justice and remove prejudice; and to search for a deeper knowledge of Christ through mutually sponsored worship, study, and prayer”.
