OLD TIME BAPTIST CAMP MEETING - DAY #1 - Hamburg, New York

The Lord really gave us a good start to the 28th annual Old Time Baptist Camp Meeting today.  I had the awesome privilege of starting it off by preaching the first message during the Sunday School hour.  This is the first time I have preached in our camp meeting.  Evangelist David Evans preached the morning service and Evangelist Don Hardman preached the evening service.  Special music during the day was brought by Paul Tripp, Laura Hardman and the Suttons.  Two groups from Old Time sang as well (Sounds of Praise and Crown of Glory). 

One of my favorite things about our camp meeting is seeing the many people who travel from around the country (and even the world) to be with us.  It is a humbling thing to our church that people would take time from their schedules to travel here to Hamburg.  With the economy the way it is we understand that for a good part of them it is probably a great sacrifice to make the trip.  We pray that God will bless them and give them all they need from the meeting.

After the service tonight our gourmet food court was in full operation.  This is always a great time of food and fellowship for everyone who sticks around.  The fellowship hall was full as well as the tables outside. 

TODAY'S PREACHERS AND SERMONS:
     Evangelist Craig Cobb - "Jesus First"
     Evangelist David Evans - "We See Jesus"
     Evangelist Don Hardman - "Laodicea"
