Wrecked chapel backers set Circle of Prayer
LEONARD, MINN. -- Supporters of the fire-damaged Faith Bible Chapel of Clover, near here and northwest of Bemidji, are calling for a "Circle of Prayer" of people to join at the chapel at 2 p.m. today. It was burned Jan. 4 and needs to be replaced with a new building.
"So, we ask that you join us for a time of prayer of wisdom and guidance around the chapel before the demolition begins," Delores Torgeson said. The chapel is at 53299 269th Ave., rural Leonard.
