The Portland-area United Methodist Churches are sponsoring a revival at Scarborough's Beech Ridge Motor Speedway on Saturday, Oct. 6. Details of the event are still being developed by members of the UMC Casco Bay Cluster, including Peoples (Pastor Jamie and Art Tordoff represent Peoples on the Cluster).

The theme will be "Hope for a Hurting World." The New England Conference's Bishop Peter Weaver will address the revival and will also lead an Altar Call -- an opportunity for anyone who wishes to come forward and publically make or a renew a commitment to Jesus.

The revival is scheduled to start at noon and will continue until 6pm. The bishop is scheduled to speak at 7:15pm. Before then there will be music and speakers with a selection of bands each playing 20-40 minutes. Beach Ridge is a NASCAR-sanctioned motor speedway and preliminary discussions have begun to have Bishop Weaver ride in a race car around the track.

Each participating UM church will have a tent in which information about the congregation and mission work will be displayed and discussed. Stay tuned for more details as planning continues. If you feel led to help, please contact Pastor Jamie or Art Tordoff.
