April 23, 2015 “SPRING REVIVAL 2015 — RESCHEDULED!” This year’s Revival has been RESCHEDULED! Our guest preacher, Rev. Mike Ricker, is currently dealing with a severe case of the shingles. For some of you who may have had this adult form of “chicken pox,” I’m sure you know all about the pain and suffering that he has been going through. Brother Mike asked me to convey to all of you his deep disappointment and regret over not being able to preach our Revival. I could hear the sadness in his voice, as we talked on the phone this past week; but, I also heard the sheer relief he felt when I told him it was okay for him to stay home and get well! Please know that we are making plans to reschedule our Revival. We are looking at a time in the Fall of 2015, and Lord willing, Mike Ricker will be able to come at full strength to share God’s Word with all of us! I believe that when all is said and done, our upcoming Fall Revival will be well worth the wait! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “CHURCH-WIDE COVERED DISH SUPPER AND ‘A CELEBRATION OF JOY’” Sunday, April 26, 2015, beginning at 5:30 P.M. at Pine Forest UMC This Sunday night is going to be a great time in the life of our church. Although we had to reschedule our Revival, we will still have our Church-wide Covered Dish Supper at 5:30 P.M., as planned. After a wonderful meal and good fellowship, we will then gather in the Sanctuary for a very special worship service! This Sunday evening, at 7:00 P.M., the Rev. Tony Crosby and his children—his son, Nicholas, 15, and his daughter, Natalie, 11, will be performing a wonderful musical program entitled, “A Celebration of Joy.” Music will include a mix of classical, inspirational, contemporary, and gospel treasures in a variety of instrumentation and vocal arrangements. Voice, piano, organ, and brass will all sound forth in celebration of the gift of music, and in worship of our Lord Jesus Christ! Please be sure to invite your friends, family, and neighbors for a night of praise and worship in music. Rev. Crosby is currently the pastor at the Alma / Elizabeth Chapel United Methodist churches in Alma, GA. He is projected to be the newly appointed pastor of Epworth UMC in Columbus, GA., at the conclusion of this year’s South Georgia Annual Conference. Tony earned a Bachelor of Music Performance from Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA., and he later attended Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, KY., where he earned a Master of Divinity. He is an ordained Elder and a much sought-after musician and worship leader. He has led music in venues throughout the state, including Winter Campmeeting at Epworth, as well as at some of the South Georgia. Annual Conference meetings, just to name a few.
