Old Time Revival coming to Alderson

ALDERSON W.Va. (WVDN) – The old rough-sawn tabernacle at Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church will be the revival site for the Alderson United Methodist Charge. The Alderson Charge is comprised of Johnson Memorial and Mt. Vernon United Methodist churches.

The old tabernacle was constructed during the Depression of the 1930s to provide seating for huge crowds during summer revival services. Each summer the tabernacle provided space for services until the mid-1950s when services were discontinued. In the early 1980s maintenance was performed and annual revival services were started again. A few years ago theft of the benches that were used as pews prevented the continued use of the structure, the acquisition of some used pews has enabled the old Tabernacle to continue as a site for proclaiming God’s word.

This year’s revival will begin at 7 p.m. each night on Sept. 8, 9 and 10. The speaker on Sept. 8 will be Ed Mideap with Ben Hersman and Sons of the Mountain providing special music. Evangelist Danny Legg will speak on Sept. 9 with Tim McNair providing music. On Sept. 10, Pastor Joey Morgan will bring the message with Joey and Joe Howard providing special music.

Please join the congregations of the churches on the Alderson Charge in redirecting the Old Tabernacle for the service of God.
