Attendees of the Mountain View Conference (MVC) Camp Meeting recently saw three conference presidents at the event and were pleasantly surprised with a visit from Marcellus T. Robinson, the new Columbia Union Conference president.
As Robinson came onto the campgrounds, he stumbled upon a discussion about raising funds for new lighting at the camp’s playground area. Right at that moment, MVC President Tim Bailey and Ohio Conference President Bob Cundiff had been discussing doing an impromptu fundraiser by going on the camps’ ropes course and zipline. Robinson said he would join in on the fun. As crowds gath- ered, Robinson climbed up the first pole—about
30 to 40 feet high. He then walked a rope to the second pole and crossed the “Pirates Crossing” to the third pole. After a brief rest, he pulled himself up and got to the zipline where he soared across the grassy field and finally came to solid ground.
During a school assembly that fell days after his April birthday, the Pine Forge Academy (PFA) student body honored Principal H. Clifford Reynolds, III, who has moved on to pursue other ventures. Students sang “Happy Birthday” and shared personal testimonies of the love and appreciation they had for their principal, affectionately known as “PR.”
