594 ECHOS-1997-319 eng Delaplane, Kristin Congregation locked out of its church Jan 05, 1997 In the 1800s, religious camp meetings were common. These meetings could be a one day event or last even up to two weeks. They were called "camp meetings" as the people came from near and far and camping out during their stay. The preachers would usually commence at 9 a.m. and go on until night fell. Usually a well known preacher would be featured with local preachers also pitching in. In 1863, such a meeting was to be held at the Pacific Methodist Church in Vacaville. A food table was set up and all were welcome. vacahc@gmail.com 319 53783467322 Publication/Article CaVaHC http://www.solanoarticles.com/history/index.php/vhcdb/319/ Read Article http://www.solanohistory.net/articles/319/319.1.pdf PDF Document
