Foster City (MI) Church Celebrates Centennial
FOSTER CITY, MI (July 17, 2002) - Mission Covenant Church of Foster City
celebrated 100 years of service last weekend (July 14) with Central
Conference Supt. Herbert M. Freedholm preaching at the Sunday morning
worship.
The "2000 Years of Love, 100 Years of Praise" festivities began with a
campfire July 12. On July 13 the congregation hosted a dinner and program
that documented the church's Swedish heritage, according to Pastor Lloyd
Nelson.
Mission Covenant Church of Foster City is located in a resort town in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Currently, the congregation averages nearly
100 in worship attendance. Originally known as the Foster City Mission
Society, the church was chartered in 1902 by 12 people and was reorganized
in 1909 as a Mission Covenant Church (now known as the Evangelical Covenant
Church).
