“Rock the Lakes Rochester” to be held on June 16-17 at Sahlen’s Stadium

Rock the Lakes Rally with Pastor Jim Cymbala on March 26 at Greece A/G Draws Thousands

By John R. Petrilli

Well over two-thousand people jammed the sanctuary and overflow area of Greece Assembly of God on March 26 to lay a foundation of prayer for the upcoming “Rock the Lakes Rochester” evangelistic event.  Rock the Lakes Rochester (RTLR) will take place on June 16-17 at Sahlen’s Stadium. It is one of three Billy Graham Evangelistic Association enormous thrusts into the Great Lakes Region of the United States, including Rochester, NY, Green Bay, WI (August 18-19), and Buffalo, NY (September 22-23).

The details of this event are enough to get your adrenaline pumping.  It will feature Franklin Graham’s gospel preaching along with high-energy, high profile Christian music from a number of outstanding artists. All that excitement got jump-started at the opening rally at Greece Assembly of God.  Over 150 churches in the Rochester area are already on board to actively participate in this major event designed to reach people with the transforming power of the gospel.

Upon entering Greece Assembly’s sanctuary you could feel the anticipation building. These 2,000 folks came to pray hard and worship wholeheartedly.  If the makeup of those in attendance is any indication of where this is going, the forecast is highly encouraging. The platform was occupied by a wide range of faces bearing the signs of broad-based ethnicity, racial and denominational backgrounds. Those actually speaking and leading included this same kind of all-inclusive blend.
