Dr. Milburn Price, recently retired chair of the School of Performing Arts, Samford University, will direct the Festival workshops and choir for the Celebration Event. Dr. Michael McGhee, assistant professor of Music and college organist at Wesleyan College will be the organist. Testament of Praise, arranged by Joseph Martin, will be performed Friday evening.

Tours to Christ Church and Fort Frederica on St. Simons Island, both integral parts of Wesley history in Georgia, will be available. The Arthur J. Moore Methodist Museum is on the campus of Epworth and will have special exhibits for the event.
