The guest list includes local and state dignitaries -- and even the governor himself. In just over two weeks, the Guido Evangelistic Association will host a 50th anniversary celebration for the whole family.

On Sunday, June 10, guests will gather at 3 p.m. under a 2000-man tent provided by Ranco of Statesboro for an afternoon of praise and worship, highlighted by the appearance of Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue.

Scheduled noted performers will include The Encouragers, the LeFevre Quartet, Archie Jordan and Chris and Cindy Hess. The Sower, Dr. Michael Guido, will give the afternoon’s sermon before the installation of his younger brother and successor to the ministry, Dr. Larry Guido. Refreshments will be served following Sunday’s service.

But before Sunday’s program, the Guidos and the staff of Guido Evangelistic Association want to thank the community for its support in a special celebration which will run from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 9.

In keeping with the faith-based mission of the Association, there is no charge for participation in any of the services or programs. For more information, call the studio at 912-685-2222.
