The old rough sawn tabernacle will be the revival site for the Mt. Vernon Church. The old tabernacle was constructed during the depression of the 1930’s to provide seating for huge crowds during summer revival services. Each summer the tabernacle provided space for services until the mid 1950’s when services were discontinued. In the early 1980’s maintenance was performed and annual revival services were started again. A few years ago theft of the benches that were used as pews prevented the continued use of the structure. The acquisition of some used pews has enabled the Old Tabernacle to continue as a site for proclaiming God’s word.
This year’s revival will begin at 7 p.m. each night on Aug. 30, 31 and Sept. 1. The speaker on Aug. 30 will be Phil Heckman with music provided by Ben Hersman. Paula McCoy will speak on Aug. 31 and Richie Holliday and Brianne Tuckwiller will add special music. Pastor Kathie Holland will bring the message on Sept. 1 with members of New Vision Baptist Church having special music. Please join us in rededicated The Old Tabernacle for the service of God.
