Willing Servants Sing at Banquet

Recently the quartet had the privilege of singing for the Grace Missionary Baptist Church Sunday School teachers and church staff banquet. This was the first time for the group to sing somewhere that wasn't at a church. The guys thoroughly enjoyed ministering in song at the banquet.

Several people asked us if we were going to make a recording sometime soon. Well, we've looked into it and we're hoping that, when we get enough money, we'll be able to purchase a "portastudio" device that will enable recording on multiple tracks for the music and voices. The cost is around $800. We have $500 saved up. So whenever we can come up with the rest of the money, we'll start to record. Anyone desiring to donate toward the purchase of the "portastudio" will receive a CD when it is finished. Donations can be sent to:

Willing Servants Sing at Bible Conferece

The guys enjoyed a trip up to Covenant Baptist Church in Troy this past Saturday. We heard some challenging messages from Bro. Mark Clark Junior, Bro. Almond Katryan, missionary from Guyana, South America preached Friday night. Saturday's preachers were Bro. Bill Brooks, Bro. Mike Channell, Bro. Gary Harrah, and myself.
The guys sang during Saturdays services. They did a tremendous job. Their harmony and blend just keeps getting better all the time. We now have one more song to learn before we start working on a recording project. Actually, we will probably start working on the recording before we learn the new song.
Please pray the guys as they serve the Lord in this capacity. All four of them are very active here at the church, serving in various capacities. It's a blessing for this pastor to see them growing in the Lord and using their talents for His honor and glory in the Lord's church here at Flat Rock, as well as other sister churches.

Seven Years Later, We Remember

In an election year when the daily attention of the nation is focused on the future of our republic, it's easy to overlook the past. Today, however, we all must pause and remember. Seven years ago, our nation was forever changed as Islamic extremists attacked our country. On September 11, 2001, families across America wept together, prayed together, and stood strong together in unity. The tragedy of that day wounded us deeply, but it did not dampen the heroism and strength this country derives from faith, family, and freedom. In the past seven years, the threat posed by radical Islam has been kept from our shores, but it has by no means disappeared. Today, as we remember the victims of 9/11 and their families, our prayers likewise extend our men and women in the armed forces who fight daily that we might be kept from harm. We should not let our remembrance fade as this day in September passes. Our next president must pay heed to the present danger posed by radical Islam. May the ballots we cast in the coming months themselves serve as memorials.
