Moments (Camp Meeting, 8\/4\/19)"},"content":{"rendered":"

We all know (in our heads) that God is with us and that the Holy Spirit guides our hearts and nudges us in the right direction.\u00a0 But sometimes we just don’t feel God’s presence.\u00a0 It all sounds good; but it’s all head knowledge and not heart knowledge.\u00a0 When we’re in our own “pig pens” of life, does God ever enter the muck and stench to be with us?\u00a0 And when He does, how do we know?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

At the Camp Meeting service on 8\/4\/19, Rev. Bill Wilson shared the truth that God does indeed enter our “pig pens.”\u00a0 Just as Jesus became a man and died the cruelest death that humanity had to offer, God enters the mire of our lives.\u00a0 But if we’re not listening, we’ll miss it.\u00a0 When we notice that God has entered into our situation, we experience an “Ah Ha!” moment, and we can answer His call.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Music<\/span><\/h3>\n

The One Way Express, a blue grass gospel group from the New Brooklyn<\/span><\/a> United Methodist Church (in Williamstown NJ), opened the service.\u00a0\u00a0 They are long time regulars at the Pitman Camp Meeting, but their music always brings a different sound and fresh perspective to our worship.\u00a0 They opened the service with songs such as “This Land is Your Land<\/a><\/span>,” “If We Forget\u00a0God<\/a><\/span>“,\u00a0 and “I’ll Fly\u00a0Away<\/a><\/span>.”\u00a0

After Rev. Wilson’s message, they closed the evening with their rendition of “God\u00a0Bless\u00a0America<\/a><\/span>.”<\/p>\n\n\t\t
