When we talked last week with Cheryl Lassiter of the Marietta Campmeeting about a shortened schedule for this year’s event, she said the prospect of having those few services next weekend was “still pretty iffy.’
On Friday the decision was made to call off the whole thing, over concerns about growing COVID-19 cases in Cobb County and Georgia:
“It is with much prayer and consideration that Campmeeting leadership has decided to cancel our shortened Campmeeting this year. We hope you will join us in prayer for the safety and health of our nation during this time. We are already looking forward to Campmeeting 2021 when we can all be together safely again!”
As we noted in our story last week, Lassiter said the only other time the Campmeeting, which dates back to 1837, was cancelled was during the Civil War.
