Covenant Youth Highlighted in Local Newsletters

CHICAGO, IL (October 1, 2001) - The Evangelical Covenant Church has much to be proud of when it comes to its children and young adults. After perusing approximately 150 church newsletters and gathering information from various phone calls and emails, the Department of Communication has collected a number of interesting insights into the activities of some of our youth:

Florida

Faith Covenant, St. Petersburg: Austin Yee, Joshua Bowman and Kevin Riley were members of a baseball team that finished second in the 12 and under Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) national baseball tourney in Minnesota. The team won the state AAU title and won a tournament in Cooperstown, New York, before finishing as the second-place squad nationally. One of the coaches for the team was Faith Covenant member Phil Yee.

Kansas

Brantford Covenant, Clyde: Megan Sizemore and Erin Carlson attended the Future Business Leaders of America national finals in Orlando, Florida, as part of a four-person team from Clifton-Clyde High School. The team placed second in the state for its business project on planning a new company. Megan's father, Russell, is pastor of Brantford Covenant. Both straight-A students are seniors at Clifton-Clyde High.

Fellow Brantford Covenant teen Eric Germann, a recent graduate of Clifton-Clyde High, was part of a first-place boys basketball team at the summer Mid-America Youth Basketball Tournament. His team was 8-0 during the event. Germann, a first-team All-League basketball player for his high school team, was also an honor student during the spring.
