“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.
