On Aug. 7-9, a 3-night outdoor tent revival will be held again in Conrad at the City Park (by the family aquatic center). This is the second year in a row local pastors John Erthein (First Presbyterian Church, Conrad), Tim Freeman (Beacon Christian Church, Conrad), Randy Ponce (Alice Church of God, Conrad), Jennifer Schwartz (Cornerstone Methodist Church, Grundy Center) and John Richter (Union Community Church, Union) have organized a community tent meeting to encourage togetherness in faith in Jesus Christ.
Each evening of worship will feature singing, prayer and preaching centered around the theme of revival found in Habakkuk 3:2, "O Lord, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O Lord, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy."
It is the hope of the organizers that people from all around will gather together in faith in the name of Jesus Christ. A free community meal will be served on Friday night at 5 p.m. for anyone who would like to attend. Light refreshments will be served on Saturday and Sunday. Pastor Schwartz will be preaching the opening night of the revival on Aug. 7. Pastor Richter will preach the gospel message on Aug. 8 and Pastor Ponce will be closing the tent meetings on Aug. 9 with the final evening also featuring a traditional community choir.
Nightly services will start at 6 p.m. (community meal at 5 p.m. on Friday night only) and be held at Conrad City Park, 112 Boyd St., Conrad.
