Greetings from Nashville, TN… "Music City USA"!
It has truly been an action packed week. We actually arrived in Camden, TN, May 25th for the Sunday morning service with Pastor and Mrs. Larry Vine, another great pastor couple. We have been so honored and blessed to have been able to partner with the best of God's shepherds and pastors.
After a great Sunday morning service and altar call, we motored into Nashville to our daughter, LaDawn's home to "camp out" for the next week plus while we recorded some new "oldie and goldie" songs at Hill Top Studios. It is great to be back there with our friends John Nicholson (studio engineer), Kelly Back (music arranger who has done many of the Gaither Gatherings), and Chip Davis, his brother and two sisters (vocalists) . We love having the Davis family back with us. They have actually been the background voices on the last several albums…they are family to us!
We also had some free evenings to enjoy some time with son Donovan, son in law Liam, daughter LaDawn, granddaughter Myanna and grandson Dante'. It is definitely not enough time in our books but we cherished every minute.
We leave Nashville this Friday, June 6th. We will be making our way to Fairbank, IA, where we have the privilege of being with Pastor Scott & Nancy Jans at the Lord of the Harvest Lutheran Church. From there, we will drive back home to be in our home office and will be doing weekend rallies in Minnesota and South Dakota. It will be nice to be in our home again for a few weeks. (I will definitely not miss the hot Tennessee temps and high humidity).
We hope you will check out our website for our summer schedule....click here for details of where we will be. Please come and join us if we are in your area or if we are where you are vacationing!
May you be blessed, feel loved and be protected as you journey into this summer season!
Gloria
