This week (April 3rd) Rev. Mark Winter presented us with:
“God’s Cavalry Man”
In this presentation,
Rev. Mark Winter paid
tribute to the circuit riding preachers of the old frontier. Winter’s circuit rider, a fictitious Methodist parson named Obadiah Ryder IV, is based on historical sources, including the journals of several old-time preachers.
Obadiah Ryder IV is a
fourth-generation circuit rider, whose great grandfather rode under the direction of the famous Methodist bishop, Francis Asbury.
