Each evening will feature a different speaker or presentation. On opening night, July 9, Pastor Norma Gott of Davis City and Lineville Assembly of God Church, along with Pastor Gary Lanning of Lineville Baptist Church, will lead the service.
Recovery Night is set for July 10, with Third Circuit Court Judge Matt Krohn scheduled to speak. Pastor Gott noted that testimonies will be shared by individuals who have experienced personal transformation through recovery, emphasizing the role of faith in their journeys.
The July 11 service will highlight the ministry of Primrose Hill Adult and Teen Challenge.
Worship Painter Jenna Tipton will participate in the July 12 service. According to spokesperson Gary Porter, Tipton will create several paintings during the event, including an image of Jesus knocking on a door.
One of her completed artworks will be auctioned, with proceeds assisting Tipton with travel expenses. She is based in Phoenix, Arizona.
The final evening, July 13, will begin with a free meal hosted by Serve Mercer County. Ron Hilton will then deliver the evening’s message. Hilton, who has been affiliated with Brush Arbor for four decades, serves as the pastor at Mercer Baptist Church and is a retired educator.
Each evening service will also feature a dedicated time for children.
Pastor Gott emphasized that the event offers a welcoming alternative for individuals who may feel hesitant to attend a traditional indoor church service.
Pastor Lanning added that attendees will receive a punch on a card for each night they participate. A drawing for various prizes, including those for children, will be held on the final night, July 13.
An offering will be collected each evening to help cover event-related costs.
In the event of inclement weather, services will be relocated from the Lineville City Park to the Lineville Assembly of God Church.
