Night of Worship Under the Stars
Friday, September 5 | 7p | Farm on the Ridge (667 Ridge Road, Hooversville, PA 15936)
“Night of Worship Under the Stars” has quickly become a beloved annual experience for our church family, and we thrilled to worship all together again! Grab a friend, a lawn chair or picnic blanket, and join us under an open, starry sky for live praise and worship with Josh & Oakland Worship. We will be worshiping the Lord with “church favorite” songs from the last couple years.
There’s just something special about singing together under the constellations!
