MULBERRY GOES TO PRISON Johnny Hathcock, Bob Bailey, Steve Rumford, and Sam Lamback will represent Mulberry on the Kairos prison ministry team at Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth the weekend of April 12-15. We welcome your prayers, home-baked cookies, notes of encouragement to inmate participants (especially from youth and children— with art work!), prayer chain notes, and financial support (Make checks payable to KPMI, Kairos Prison Ministries International). One new means of support is to donate meal tickets ($10 each) to pay for meals our team brings in for the weekend. See a Kairos rep. for this. Most of all, pray for the 42 inmates who will be challenged spiritually at Kairos.

Ainsworth Choir Music
Sunday, April 15 On Sunday, April 15 the Ainsworth Choir will
be accompanied by soloists and orchestra in a
presentation of the Easter portion of Handel’s
beloved oratorio, Messiah. This rarely heard
portion of Messiah tells the story of Jesus’
death and resurrection, his ascension to
heaven, and the work of the Apostles as they
begin to spread the Good News of our
salvation. Familiar choruses, like “Lift up your
heads, o ye gates” and “Hallelujah,” and gems
like “The Lord gave the word” and “Their
sound has gone out” all come from this portion
of Messiah. Joining the Ainsworth Choir will
be soloists mezzo-soprano Mary Beth
Kosowski, tenor Beauregard Palmer, and bass-
baritone Michael O’Hearn, a true Atlanta
native who currently lives in New York City.
We will also feature our soprano intern,
Lindsey Rueter as the soprano soloist, before
she graduates from Mercer University in May
and returns to Nashville, TN.
We will begin worship with two portions of
Handel’s Bb-Major organ concerto (Op. 4, no.
4) featuring our interim organist, Pat Crowe, in
this joyful work for orchestra and organ.
