2023 Campmeeting Week

In keeping with the early camp meeting models, we have planned a single solid  week of Camp Meeting.   In the early days there were one or two weeks set aside in the middle of the summer, which were really the few weeks between haying seasons,  to grow a deeper spiritual life through the Camp Meeting. 

  • Saturday, July 29 – 5:30 PM Covered Dish followed by 7pm Concert by “Mercy’s Well”
  • 5 PM – Covered Dish in Biddle Hall
  • Sunday, July 30
    • 11 AM – Worship – Mercy’s Well providing music, Pastor Purchase preaching on Isaiah 40
    • 7 PM – Worship with David Zipse providing music for an old-fashioned hymn sing, and Dennis Bruce sharing a message.
  • Monday, July 31 through Saturday, Aug 5
  • 10 AM in the Tabernacle – Adult Bible Study led by Pastor Ethel Guy on the Book of James, and Kid’s Program to be determined.
  • Wednesday, August 2 – 6:30 PM Prayer Service led by Sarah McGovern, with special guest Jim Hughes.

  • Saturday, Aug. 5 – 5:30 PM Covered Dish followed by 7 PM – Concert with Jean Watkins Walk Around tradition or as some old camp meetings call it, Illumination Night.
