Where do I even start ? My family and I joined UFG when I was about 12/13. Ever since then Pastor Hines and the UFG fam took us in like their very own family. Pastor Hines said what he meant and meant what he said. He was a man after God's own heart ♥️. He admired how my mama, grandma , and others help raise us. Mrs. Aria smiled from ear to ear when he was around. It's never goodbye to saints. It's see your later. I'm glad I could show pastor how much I loved him while he was here on earth .. he was practically a Grandaddy to us .. I pray we are in the same neighborhood in heaven.
With Love, Carlisha D.

Dr. Hines and I met over 20 years ago thanks to my late grandmother, Virginia Sweet. She said, if I want to go to a real church, I'll take you to one in Pelham GA. Lead by Pastor Earl Hines,Sr. We became fellowship partners for life ever since. He was a real Christian here on earth. A man full of Love and encouragement. Love you man of God with many blessings to the family 🙏
I worked with Earl over 30 years in Thomasville. I remember the first time I met him he went out of his way to make me feel welcome to the team. He was a fine Christian man which I always had a deep respect. He had a good sense of humor too! I look forward until the day we meet again brother Earl. Doug... Cairo
