Strawberry
Fields in Mattituck, becomes a Field of Hope on Saturday, Aug 3, 2013
from noon until 8 PM.
Mattituck,
NY (June 21, 2013) -- In fulfillment of the shared vision and
years of prayer by many Christians, The Great North Fork Awakening --
Where You'll Meet God comes to life on Saturday, August 3 at
Strawberry Fields on Route 48 in Mattituck. A day of music, prayer,
sermons, and people sharing the Gospel and their own amazing stories
is scheduled from noon until 8 PM.
Tents
will be erected to protect event goers from the elements for this
rain or shine event. Although food vendors will be on hand, the
public is invited to bring their own picnic basket and bottled water.
Admission is free.
"North
Fork Awakening is an opportune time to help people find faith as a
way of life, to refresh those who have become overwhelmed by life and
to speak hope to a community already loved by God!," says Pastor
Lesaya Kelly of Crossover Christian Church in Mount Sinai. Pastor
Kelly has served in pastoral ministry for 25 years, both here in the
States and in her home country, South Africa.
Event
organizers agree that Strawberry Fields in Mattituck will be the
place to "find the missing peace in your life" on August 3.
"This
will truly be a glorious day for the North Fork of Long Island to
witness and attend a good 'ole fashion tent revival. Faith and art on
display for the whole community. This is not religion, but the Gospel
at its best. If anybody needs some lovin' this is the place to be,"
says Mattituck Presbyterian Church's pastor, George Gaffga.
The
Great North Fork Awakening -- Where You'll Meet God is an
interdenominational event and all are welcome, whether they are the
deeply faithful, or the un-churched seeking spiritual direction.
"It's free GPS," says event chairperson, Alex Nyilas, who
had an idea for such an event almost two years ago. "That is,
God's Positioning System. And, upgrades are always available at no
charge."
"This
is an opportunity to experience the church without walls as many
people from many local congregations gather together to show our
community real love," added Pastor Mike Jankowski of Lamb's
Chapel in Center Moriches.
