New Ground - Jul 2004

Hi Everyone,

From cruising to the Bahamas to visiting with old friends this past month – our summer started out full speed ahead.

We started the month off in the Bahamas and then finished our weekend off with a new church with old friends. Friendship FCM in Anniston, Alabama found us with the Griffiths, the Motes, the Crumps and many new friends. Then it was onto Empire, Alabama to be at the Dilworth COG Homecoming and Nina Smith and friends. Sure hope we get to visit both churches again really soon.

We did our very first Kids to Love Concert on June 11th. The Kids to Love Foundation is an organization founded by Lee Marshall – and helps foster children receive the help they need to function in today’s society. Check out the information at http://www.kidstolove.org . Then it was off to Haleyville, Alabama to be with Brian and Larry at WJBB Radio for a great day of singing. We finished our weekend at Shiloh Baptist Church in Helena, Alabama for a Homecoming Service – great time with the Nichols, Dunns, Burnetts and many new friends.

The next weekend is our first trip to Illinois to sing for M&C Promotions/Mike & Cara Wheeler. Mike knows how to promote!! He is a class act!! We enjoyed a great concert with the Hoppers (it was so good to see Josh Simpson – our former piano player – he now plays piano for the Hoppers) and a great night of “Real Chicago Style Pizza” - YUM YUM!! We then headed to Connersville, Indiana for a Christian Biker Rally – with the God’s Messengers Bikers. These guys and gals really have put together a great organization to share Christ with many people when they are on the road. The next morning we are in Middletown, Ohio at the Poasttown Church of God. This congregation has been so blessed to be in a beautiful new church building – wow – the Lord has been really blessed. Sunday night we were guests of the Winton Road Church of God in Cincinnati. As we were getting our equipment set up Pastor Elliot comes in and tells us that the Youth Minister had just gotten killed in a boating accident. We did sing, but we knew just how much the church was hurting – so please remember them in your prayers. It was good to see Bill Phelps, Omer & Bonnie Taylor and the most sweetest couple – the Colemans.

Final weekend of June 2004 we spent in Georgia. Campton Baptist Church in Monroe, Georgia was our first stop. This church can cook – and good – they had a supper for us before the singing – have you ever tried to eat and then sing – LOL – you know how that goes!! Emmanuel Baptist Church in Gainesville, Georgia was our Sunday morning stop. We sang with Mr. Albert Daily and Midnight Praise. They are a great group and can sing the house down!!! Give them a call – I highly recommend their ministry. We were invited to Emmanuel Baptist by Odeus Smith of G&S Productions – he is a great promoter – anytime he is promoting near you – make sure that you go!! Sunday night we were at the home church of Midnight Praise – Friendship Pentecostal Holiness in East Bogart!! Needless to say – we finished the weekend off on a very spiritual singing and are looking forward to going back very soon!!
