Covenant Harbor Announces Summer Worship Series

LAKE GENEVA, WI (June 10, 2004) - North Park Theological Seminary (NPTS) Prof. Klyne Snodgrass and Evangelical Covenant Church evangelists Lon Allison and Judy Howard Peterson are among the guest preachers as Covenant Harbor Bible Camp (CHBC) presents its "Many the Gifts: A Summer Sampler of Worship" series beginning this Sunday

Covenant Harbor's summer worship series has become a staple for the camp and an opportunity to showcase its facilities, allowing Covenanters to worship in a different environment with notable speakers during the summer months. The series runs through August 8, said CHBC chaplain Karen Hinz. Sunday's 10:30 a.m. service features pastor Hollis Kim of Parkwood Community Church in Lombard, Illinois, as guest preacher with special music being provided by Glenn Kaiser of Jesus People USA Covenant Church in Chicago.

Snodgrass, a noted Covenant speaker and longtime New Testament seminary professor, will preach at the July 11 worship service. Allison of Deerbrook Covenant Church in Palatine, Illinois, is a recognized speaker throughout the world, also known for his leadership of the Billy Graham Center in Wheaton, Illinois. He preaches on July 18. Howard Peterson, a Covenant pastor known for her Walk Across America experience, will bring the morning message on July 25.

Sunday summer worship services at Covenant Harbor are held in a large white tent located on the far end of the camp's front lawn. Following worship, people are invited to use the facilities for picnics or to purchase lunch on the grounds. They also are welcome to swim and enjoy the fellowship of others during afternoon hours. Guests must leave by 4:30 p.m., however, when Covenant Harbor's weekly youth camps are scheduled to begin.
