THIS Friday, Saturday and Sunday - Camp Meeting!

Originating in England, camp meetings became a movement across the US in the early nineteenth century, and continue to this day. There are permanent camp grounds for such meetings; however many are three day events at a local church. It is a time of coming together from different churches and cities for worship and fellowship. People from MCC in New Orleans and Barton Rouge are registered and I am hoping to be surprised with some from Montgomery and Florida too.

Our guest preacher for the weekend is Rev J.R. Finney, Pastor of Covenant Birmingham UCC. We are excited to hear the messages God has laid on his heart for us:

• "REACHING IN" TO HEAL SCARS OF SHATTERED CONFIDENCE - Part 1
• "REACHING UP" TO FIND THE "MUST" KEYS TO CONFIDENT LIVING - Part 2
• "REACHING OUT" TO BRING OUT THE BEST IN OTHERS - Part 3

There will be special music and a time to pray together in the services. Many are praying for a powerful time of healing and renewal. The Holy Spirit always shows up at camp meeting! Of course there will be food all weekend! But we still need help so sign-up today.

• Friday night, after the service we will host a reception for Rev Finney and all of our guests. Sign-up at VolunteerSpot to bring something or help.
• Saturday BBQ Dinner before service (donation $10 adults/$5 kids, students, seniors). Sign-up at VolunteerSpot to bring something or help.
• Pot-luck Luncheon after service. Sign-up at VolunteerSpot to bring something or help.

Camp Meeting is a great time to invite family and friends to join you. Scripture says God prepares the hearts of those we are to invite....our part is simply to ask. So here is my personal invitation for you who are reading this: please join me for one or more of our camp meeting services. I believe there's a blessing that has been prepared just for YOU!

All services will be broadcast live.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
