Hello Friends,
You are invited to attend the 61st Church of God Ministry and Retreat Center (MRC) Camp Meeting which will be held at the Palmetto Campgrounds in Palmetto, Louisiana on Thursday, July 9, 2026 to Sunday, July 12, 2026.
Our theme this year is "The Voice of God". The theme scripture is based on St. John 10:4-5 which says “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”
This year's guest speaker is Rev. Handel Smith from Noblesville, Indiana. There will be a variety of activities, which involve much fellowship, including spirit-filled worship services, conferences for adult and youth, and Christian Woman Connection special session featuring Sis. Vickey Smith and there will be a Men’s Gathering. We also will have extra t-shirts from the 60th anniversary Camp Meeting for $20 each, which will be available at the camp meeting. Registration fees are $35 for adults, $75 for families, $25 for youth and $15 for children ages 6-11.
You will find the MRC Camp Meeting flyer, guest speaker biography, registration, lodging forms, the tentative camp meeting program schedule and additional hotel information on the MRC website https://cogmrc.org camp meeting page. A Christian Women Connection flyer, youth camp flyer and the youth camp tentative schedule will be available later. Finally, you will be informed about instructions regarding livestream services soon.
Please kindly share this information with others. Thanks in advance for your prayers and support. Come, expecting to experience being in the presence of God with us!
Sincerely,
Bro. Dale M Fontenot
