Pastor Bret Walker is currently a local pastor serving churches in Pedricktown<\/a> and Auburn<\/a> (Salem County), but his \"\"roots are in Pitman.\u00a0 He grew up in PUMC.\u00a0 And for several consecutive summers he attended every Camp Meeting service, growing into a love and commitment to the Lord.\u00a0 He was the drummer in our church’s Praise and Worship band, member of the choir, leader of the youth group.\u00a0 He was serving in the way that dedicated lay members should.\u00a0 But the Bible and the Camp Meeting Preaching called him from the pews to the pulpit, and he now serves two congregations as their local pastor.

Our last session of the 2018 season was on August 26, and Pastor Bret Walker was a fitting person to lead the season’s final service.\u00a0 Bret provided the both the message and the music (with some help from his ukulele).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Whenever the topic about the names and locations of Pastor Bret’s two churches comes up, things get a bit confusing. If you ask him which churches he serves, you’ll get hit with a string of proper nouns. They all sound like names of towns, and any of them could be the name of a church too.<\/span><\/p>\n

For future reference, maybe the below will help sort things out…<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Music:\u00a0 Camp Meeting Favorites<\/span><\/h3>\n

Pastor Bret has a love for “old-fashioned” gospel music, and he brought that passion to us when he opened the evening’s service.\u00a0 A strong voice, a lively ukulele, and some good music (with a powerful message!) centered our thoughts on worshiping God.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His musical lineup was dominated by familiar Camp Meeting classics:<\/p>\n
