Sabbath activities for the Pine Forge Seventh-day Adventist Church, which serves the Pine Forge Academy, started out as usual Sabbath, May 16, 2009.  Since it was the last formal gathering for the school year baptism was scheduled following Sabbath School.  Four candidates were to have been baptized with the sermon, etc., following.  The Praise Team sang and Pastor Gary Banks, church pastor for just a little over four months, officiated with the assistance of Elder Helen Peace. 

From the baptistery a few introductory remarks were given and prayer was offered.  Three young ladies were baptized with praises of applaud following each.  Just before the fourth young lady was immersed, Pastor Banks reverently informed the congregation, that if there were other who needed to make a commitment to God before leaving Pine Forge Academy that they could join Elder Norman Niles at the front of the sanctuary.

The Pine Forge Academy Choir consists of over 90 members representing talented, experienced and dedicated young men and women ranging from ages 13 through 18, who not only excel musically, but academically.
