Congregation members from churches of varying denominations will meet

at the Orange County Fairgrounds on Sunday for “The Stirring,” a worship

event organized by Rock Harbor Church in Costa Mesa.

The event will be the fifth held by Rock Harbor Church since it

started them in August 1999 at Orange Coast College.

The “stirrings” were moved to the fairgrounds because of high

attendance, said Stacy Scott, director of communications and church

events.

She said she expects between 2,000 and 3,000 participants Saturday.

“Our desire is truly to provide an opportunity for all churches to

come together and worship God under one roof,” she said. “It’s a great

opportunity for us to meet and see God work. There is a uniqueness in us

all being together because it forces us to see we are one family and it

opens our eyes to how much bigger God is than us. There’s excitement in

getting 2,000 to 3,000 people in one room experiencing God together

through worship.”

The event will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in Building 12 at the Orange County Fairgrounds, 88 Fair Drive, Costa Mesa. For more information, call
