Community tent revival meeting set

Wesley United Methodist Church (UMC), 40 W. Main St., Strasburg, will host a community tent revival meeting on Saturday, May 10, at 6:30 p.m. The service will feature the singing of hymns accompanied by a local bluegrass group and preaching by pastor Bob Garvey. Following the service, an ice cream social will be held in the fellowship hall.

Wesley UMC has a long history in Strasburg. Established in 1795, it has gone through many changes, with the present church built in 1893. Tent revivals, or camp meetings, were popular in the early formation of the Methodist Episcopal Church in America. From 1832 to 1839, there were several large tent revivals in the Strasburg and Paradise areas. The church membership grew through these meetings.
