Testimony: Campmeeting at South Union is
like coming home to us. Pat and I had our honeymoon here in 1990.
We have the sweetest friends here. We still miss all the ones
that have gone on to be with Jesus. We will have another big
Campmeeting one day in heaven when we all get there. We will
carry on our Campmeeting as long as we are able; that's what our
loved ones would want us to do. I, Doris McWhorter Cohea Terry,
came to Campmeeting when I was 11 years old (in 1934), riding in
the back of a wagon from Chester. The road was behind the Casey
Smith tent then. I have always loved this place. Pat loves it
too. We had lovely services this year. Pat & Doris Terry

Testimony:
I am 57 years old and I have been attending South Union
Campmeeting all my life. My parents, Will and Lillie Belle
Liddell, built a tent in 1946. To me, this place is truly Holy
Ground. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior during
Campmeeting when I was eleven years old. I pray that Campmeeting
will be carried on until the end of time. God bless South Union.

Testimony:
I have attended campmeeting for only six years but I feel
such a part of the 130 years here at South Union. So many things
are special here, it is hard to even begin to list them. The
open-air setting with the sounds of the birds and crickets. The
wind blowing in the trees and through the arbor, the dew on the
grass in the early morning, the sun as it goes behind the trees
- all these things make campmeeting special.
The fellowship is wonderful. The talk of "old
times" and the way times have changed is a part of every
gathering. It makes me long for a simpler, slower way of life.
And campmeeting has a way of slowing me down to a pace where I
feel I have time to listen for a word from God. I don't
listen for the phone to ring, but I listen to the message from
Him. Time is a gift from God and I cherish the time I spend in
renewal at South Union. May God bless the future of this place
as it continues to be a place of worship and praise. Beverly

Testimony:
South Union Campmeeting is a fun-filled holy experience.
Words cannot truly describe how special you feel and how close
to God you can get. Everyone should have the pleasure of
attending Campmeeting. You would never miss another one if you
took the time to attend just one. Love in Jesus Christ our
Savior - Rachel Fulce.
