Jerry and Sharon Smith of Livonia are devout Christians who share a love of music. Jerry is the musical director at First Presbyterian Church in Plymouth (the church celebrated its 175th anniversary July ;'.e. (, - x J . 18) and a longtime member of the Livonia Community Prayer Breakfast Committee. Sharon is a pianist and a regular performer at the breakfast, which typically draws more than 500 individuals. So it's no surprise that when they traveled to Israel earlier this year that music direc- tor and singer, Jerry Smith, led the group in singing When Peace Like a River on the banks of the Jordan River. The Jordan River is where Christians believe Jesus was bap- tized and preached to his disciples. The Smiths were part of a tour sponsored by Liberty University, of Lynchburg, Va. The tour group of more than 90 people from throughout the United States was hosted by Mike Huckabee, former GOP presidential candidate, and his wife, Jan. The popular former Arkansas governor, who now has a television show on the Fox network, is an ordained Southern Baptist minister. Also on the trip was Pat Boone, a popu- lar singer and actor during the 1950s and early 1960s, who continues to entertain and perform, as a motivational speaker and a Christian activist, writer and preacher. Boone is a member of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Jerry Smith (with microphone) leads the group in singing the old gospel 'Blessed Assurance' by Crosby at Caesarea Philippi, one of the sources of the Jordan River. BIBLICAL SITES The 10-day tour began in Jerusalem with stops at the Garden of Gethsemane, the Mount of Olives, Temple Mount, the Bethesda Pool, the Via Dolorosa, the Garden Tomb and the Wailing Wall. Traveling to Tiberius (on the Sea of Galilee) by way of the Dead Sea and the Jordan River, Huckabee related various sites to Scriptural references: Capernaum, the Mount of the Beatitudes, Golan Heights, Caesarea Philippi and Nazareth. The group also held a Sunday worship service while sailing on the Sea of Galilee. On the return to the Mediterranean coast, the tour included a visit to Megiddo, the famed center of many Israelite battles, and Caesarea.

SEEING SCRIPTURE "Two thousand years plus of history remains and the church groups have pre- served the holy sites," said Jerry Smith, "Pilgrims are still coming in large numbers" to visit the Holy Land. "Reading Scripture and then seeing Scripture is indescribable," he added. The group also visited Jerusalem — an international/interfaith center of religion. As both Smiths pointed out, the Holy Land is holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims. The Smiths said the tour deepened their belief as "more than spectators in the arena of religious purpose." They added that it expanded their "horizons of belief as seen and experienced by thousands who have walked this land." Jerry Smith leads the group in singing 'When Peace Like a River'; by Spafford at the Jordan River. In Christian tradition, Jesus was baptized there by John the Baptist. Your Invitation to Worship
