Have You Seen Our Anniversary Banner?

ByCovenant Church March 18, 2022January 9, 2023

If you’ve been by the church recently, you’ve probably seen the banner celebrating our Anniversary. But have you seen it up close? The new branding reminds us of the dove that brought the olive branch back to Noah, the Covenant God made with Noah after the Great Flood, and the New Covenant we have in Jesus Christ. The upper portion of the banner traces Covenant’s participation in God’s mission from 1922 to 2022. Finally, the Anniversary slogan, “Celebrating 100 Years of Faith, Hope & Love” reminds us of how we should carry out our ministry to the community and beyond. “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (I Corinthians 13:13) Thanks to Greg Corner and the other Communication Team members for the banner design and to John Strayer and the Anniversary Team for the slogan.
