Preacher from the Pew: It’s all that easy, it’s all that hard with Cathy Byrem, Mar. 4th, 26'


Cathy Byrem has been a member of Covenant for about one year. Her mother Barbara Byrem and her sister Chris Stein are also members. She has a niece living out of state with her husband, and she lost her dad in August of 2019. 


She is one of our liturgists, is serving on the Safety Committee, and recently was elected as a Deacon. She also hopes to bring smiles by wearing ties with interesting knots. Cathy currently possesses a Commercial Driver’s License and until recently has been driving several different routes around Ohio. 


She has been blessed with guidance from several members of Covenant: Beth Askue, Karen Hjelm, Gene McEvoy, and Joel who always has the right message at the right time. She also has a couple of great, dear friends from out of the area: Heather (my Griefshare facilitator, and Steve who has been the person I consider my long-lost brother I never had. 


Cathy loves playing Disc Golf, helping others, spending time with my family, being active in my church home, and helping out.
