Camp Meeting 2012
From 1886 until now the Church of God still marches on!
Those before us have paved the way though prayer, sacrifice, long enduring hours
of labor, tears, persecution and suffering. The companions of the above
mentioned adjectives are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, satisfaction,
blessings, fellowship, and the thrill of seeing the body of Christ multiple and
become strong and remaining. They paved the way for us and now we are
responsible for caring on the legacy for those following in our footsteps, our
children and grandchildren.
This month we have the opportunity to gather together to worship with our
brothers and sisters throughout the state at the Wimauma Camp Meeting. This
campground is a legacy passed down to us (the Church of God) by our forefathers;
being the oldest camp meeting in the Church of God the Florida Camp Meeting is
often called the “Grandfather of all Camp Meetings.” This is part of our
spiritual heritage.
You are invited to attend all or as many of the Bible Studies, nightly services
and prayer meetings as often as you possibly can. We in Florida are blessed to
have awesome guest speakers. NW is privileged to live close enough to drive down
and back and enjoy the blessings of Camp Meeting. If at all possible I encourage
you and your family to make plans to attend. Camp Meeting information is posted
on the bulletin board in the Atrium as well as several other locations
throughout the building. Hope you are able to make plans to attend at least one
of the evening services and be blessed.
Love and prayers,
~ Pastor Roberts
