Jesusfest Returns this July

JESUSFEST is a local one-day Christian festival / "country fair" that Drew Crandall from Keep in Touch has facilitated. Every year this festival has doubled in size - last year there were some 7,000 to 8,000 people in attendance! It is held at the Tolland Agricultural Grounds in Vernon. This year the festival will be held Saturday, July 9 from 10am-9pm.

The objective of this festival is to reach out to the lost in our community and promote unity among the churches crossing denominational lines by reaching out to the community together - showing that Christians can have fun! Approximately 10 churches from a wide variety of fellowships & denominations are involved in putting this festival together. The festival is free to the public.

This year there will be two 2 prayer tents set up: one will be an intercessory tent where there will be 14 hours of straight worship and intercession for the State of Connecticut; the second will be a place where people at the festival can come to receive prayer. Audrey McIntyre, the prayer coordinator for the event, is seeking prayer leaders and ministers who have active prayer groups to come with their groups and pray for 2 hours on-site at the festival. Would you like to come to the festival with your fellow intercessors and spend at least 2 hours in worship and intercession for the State of Connecticut? If so, contact Audrey via e-mail.
