Rendezvous & Revival


September 20-23

Come and be Re-Energized!

Each night there will be a free meal, then a pre-service prayer time in the chapel at 6pm to ask the Holy Spirit to pour out his presence and power upon the revival service that night.

SING WITH US!

A\t 6pm there will be a “Pick-Up Choir” practice for anyone from any of the churches or communities of Western Oklahoma who would like to come and sing in the choir for that night. All are welcome – we want to have as big of a choir as possible!

Each night will have a worship service at 7pm featuring a praise band and the Pick-Up Choir. Every night will feature a different United Methodist preacher from Western Oklahoma bringing the message. We will finish up with a ministry time led by Chuck Horton, pastor of Weatherford. People will be invited to come forward for healing prayer, to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior, to receive a new or fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit, to rededicate themselves to Christ, or to answer the call of God in ministry. The ministry time will have a “soft ending” and people can stay as long as they want to soak in the presence of God or to come forward for prayer, and people can leave whenever they need to head home.

Wherever you live or whatever church you attend, we invite you to come to Rendezvous and Revival with us!

Sun 9/24  –  the Revival continues at home

We hope everyone will continue the revival at their own churches on Sunday morning.  At Weatherford First United Methodist Church we will NOT have our normal 8:30am service because we want everyone to come to the same 10:30am service during which we will invite SWOSU student Tristen Kretchmar from Yukon to preach. After the service we will have a church wide pot-luck dinner to close out our revival with a time of food and fellowship.
