The love of history extends to combining the message of hope from our Savior to historical events.  These include celebrations of historical importance in our churches to duplicating the faith of our frontier families as they moved west and camped together.  Here, the messages include a component of history to link our faith and our country’s dependence upon God.

In the Tent
Approximately 200 in attendance
Music - loved by all
O How the Fiddle draws you closer to God
Camp musicians gather for worship
Bonnie is baptised
All in their Sunday best
Just a typical 18th Century minister
Sermon notes
Love that full tent!
Need more room? Just drop a side.
The message of our God is still a wonderful thing to hear
The Lantern
Passion
What wind can do
Tough morning to see the damage
This year, the church used an open air pavillion
WIndy but all were OK
God was on our side that day
Music still a part of Sunday
People drawn to God's word
People drawn to God's music
Sunday morning in a tent church
