2010 Camp Meeting Revival - Saturday July 17th and Sunday, July 18th

We are blessed with the return of one of our most requested evangelists, Don Donaldson of Guatemala, with his artistic chalk drawings, his dynamic preaching and his profound messages.  Joining his will be his wife,

What is a revival? For many it's an increased spiritual interest or renewal in your faith; for others it's about being "born again" through realizing Jesus Christ for as their personal savior. Jesus said, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born again"  (John 3:3)

Covered dish suppers were served both evenings, beginning at 5:00 pm, prior to the 7:00 pm revival services.  Cottagers and guests brought their favorite home cooking to share with others. and enjoyed a special ice cream social, following Sunday's concert.  Tours of a few Victorian Cottages were available a half hour prior to each nights revival service.  For more information on our Camp Meeting Weekend, click here!
