Davis (CA) Church to Host Community Festival in May

DAVIS, CA (March 1, 2004) - University Covenant Church celebrated completion of a new church building on Feb. 22 with plans to welcome the community to view the $6 million facility during a community festival in May.

Greg Yee, Pacific Southwest Conference director of Leadership and Congregational Development, was in attendance along with 1,149 members and friends of the congregation. During the service, founding members ceremoniously carried into the sanctuary a cross, Bible, font, communion cup and plate, handing them over to individuals representing the next generation.

A transition team of 50 people under the direction of Larry Lagerstrom had been readying the church for the move during the previous month. The facility includes a multipurpose room and office space. Phase two will include a sanctuary. The church averages 700 in weekly worship attendance.
