In 2009 our church will celebrate 75 years of ministry to the greater Bemidji area! From the days of the small church in downtown Bemidji to our present campus on Highway 2 West, the Covenant Church has been all about impacting our world for Jesus Christ.
There are just a few members left from the early days, but there are many of us who have experienced the impact of our church over the years. It is important to look back and appreciate what God has done in the past, but also critical that we face the future anticipating what God is going to do through the Covenant in the years to come. It is exciting to see lives being touched and growing in Jesus Christ.
I would encourage you to go to the history section on the web page and read a brief history of our denominational roots and the formation of the Covenant in Bemidji. It is good to remember that God has been faithful throughout the duration of our church’s ministry.
At our annual meeting in July we will begin to formulate a committee to plan the celebrations next year. Maybe you would like to be on this steering committee, or help in other ways. If so, please let me know so we can begin our planning.
I encourage you to come to our annual meeting on July 21 at 7:00 PM. This is one of the ways that we celebrate what God is doing among us. It is exciting and we want to share it with you.
In Christ,
Mark Hovestol
Lead Pastor
