Gladstone Camp Meeting Starts Tuesday, July 19!
Next week, for the first time in three years, in person camp meeting will be happening on the familiar grounds in Gladstone, Oregon.
We're so excited to have everyone coming back and we know you all are excited to. Here are a few things you should know about Gladstone Camp Meeting this year.
There will be several ways to keep up on the latest camp meeting details, news, and announcements. This year, several pieces of information have changed since the camp meeting brochure/booklet went to press, so the most accurate information will be found in the new Gladstone Camp Meeting app, on the OregonAdventist.org/campmeeting webpage, in each day's Gladstone Gazette, and on the evening news and information round-up – Gladstone Today.
Please be patient with us this year. It's been tough prepping for camp meeting this year. We've worked hard through supply shortages, leaders catching COVID, vendors not having enough staff to get tents up in a timely manner, new leaders and staff members, and items being back ordered. All that is to say; please be patient, kind, and give some grace to the volunteers, staff, and other team members who are working super hard to make camp meeting a reality this year.
We can't wait to see you for the day or the week next week and we hope it will be a wonderful time for creating great memories, gathering with friends and family, and learning more about Jesus.
