Kresgeville church’s annual festival offers variety of activities

Middlecreek Christian Church in Kresgeville held its 22nd annual Fusion Festival over the weekend.

The three-day event began Friday evening with dinner, Bible Family Feud, music, the movie “Jesus Revolution” and Bible study around the camp fire.

“This is our 22nd annual event. We only missed one year, and that was 2020 because of COVID-19,” said Marcy Cetnar, who organized the event and is a deacon at the church.

Several families set up tents and campers on church property to camp for the weekend’s festivities. Attendees were church members and others from the community.

Joseph “Joe” Pine IV and his wife, Becky Pine, were among the campers. Last month, he began preaching as the church’s new minister. He relocated from Scipio Baptist Church in Union Springs, N.Y.

“I had not known about Kresgeville, but other areas of the Poconos. Someone called me and asked if I’d come to preach one day. And here we are,” he said.

Saturday was a day full of music from Christian bands from the Lehigh Valley. Bands included Doc Pappa and the Renegade Ramblers, Narrow Road, Think of 3, and The Jordan River Ramblers.

There were also crafts, a scavenger hunt and children’s ministry on Saturday. Chris Severn, an artist from the Lehigh Valley, came to speak about being a certified Bob Ross landscape instructor. There was another camp fire Bible study Saturday night before bedtime.

The festival wrapped up Sunday morning with breakfast and the church service in the pavilion.
