What is a service like?
Q: What happens each night in the gospel
tent?
A: Each evening the gospel service, or "meeting",
begins with congregational singing and prayer. There are two 20-25
minute messages based on biblical texts. The purpose of the gospel
messages is to explain, from God's Word, how a person can have a
personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ. The
service is closed with prayer and a final hymn.
Q: Who are the speakers for the gospel tent
meetings?
A: The meetings are shared by two respected
preachers, Mr. James Smith and Mr. Marvin Dirksen. Mr. Smith is
from East Aurora, New York. Mr. Dirksen is from Kitchener,
Ontario, Canada.
Q: Will I be welcome at the gospel tent?
A: The sponsors of the gospel tent meetings are
interested in creating a safe, comfortable atmosphere for members of our
community to hear what God's Word says for them. There are no
solicitations, altar calls, public appeals for funds or church
membership, or other public displays. You are welcome to come and
listen without fear of embarrassment.
Q: What do I need to bring?
A: Nothing! Please feel free to attend the
gospel tent as you are. Bibles and hymn books are available for
your reference during the service. Cold water and other
conveniences for warm summer evenings are provided.
