SUMMER'S 'ROUND THE BEND

Are you ready for some... sunshine (no football yet)!

Brotherhood has had a wonderful time at amazing concert ministry events! A return visit to Church At The Cross (CATC) and a first time concert at Faith AG Men's Breakfast highlighted the month of May. The folks at CATC are always a joy to be with - music, food and fellowship are a winning combo. Besides our gospel music myriad, Brotherhood included a special Military Salute medley. In honor of Armed Forces Day, we had those who served in the various military branches, stand when their song was sung! The Men at Faith were treated with new arrangements of great gospel songs and current southern gospel tunes. As expected, they couldn't get enough of "Jesus You're So Wonderful" (the doo wop song) and raved about our version of "Mary Did You Know". Phones were busy taking photos and videos... MORE TO COME!

 

 

Be blessed and have a wonderful Memorial day weekend.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

I may be a little late... but here goes!

WOW what a week for Brotherhood in Mid-March! The ministry concerts in Sanford and Orlando were wonderfully blessed; can't wait to return. Christians can have lots of fun & so do we as Brotherhood delivers the Word in song. You know, many will come to a concert before they darken a church doorway. We also enjoyed making new friends and re-connecting with others! 

Our calendar keeps getting busy; we have Orlando concerts scheduled in May and a NYC/NJ revisit weekend tour coming in September.  Specifics will come in later emails or just check our Facebook site for more details. We can't wait to see what God has in store! But, as His children, we will patiently anticipate greater things. We are so blessed.

See you "down the road"; watch for calendar updates!

SILENT NIGHT, HOLY NIGHT!

Fall came and went (incl. Brotherhood's CD release concert), Thanksgiving is over and now it's time for Jesus' birthday! With all the hustle and bustle, everyone busy with parties, cooking, gifts nd family... let's not forget the true reason for the season.

A humble, lowly birth for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords did draw the attention of those who believed a Messiah would soon be coming. The wise men travelled a great distance to get a glimpse of the Holy One and bring Him gifts. Without Jesus' birth, death and resurrection, our Christian faith would not exist.

May you all have a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy New Year. God bless and keep you  always in His loving care. Brotherhood hopes to see you sometime, somewhere in 2019. We always enjoy meeting and making new friends!

STUDIO WORK DONE!

Our studio work is done and Brotherhood is in post production mode; leaving it to the tech team for the master copy and then the packaged CD. It will be like Christmas when we are able to share the gift of God's music with you. Brotherhood always enjoy giving more, so expect 11 songs instead of the traditional 10!

Can't wait to share these selections with you... live and in person. Keep watch for our upcoming concert dates. Have a blessed week!

IT'S STUDIO TIME!

BACK IN STUDIO, AGAIN!

Well, it could also be considered "back in the saddle again" or "back home again". God has allowed Brotherhood to get back to the studio and work on a new CD project!  Once again, we are blessed to work with producer, Tim Kelly, who makes it all happen (techno-wise).

I say that "tongue-in-cheek" because studio time has been a joy and fun to be part of. The hard work was pre-studio... the entire team worked/prayed to deliver our very best on each song selected. Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves because we want to give our very best. But, you know what, as we are bathed in prayer, the Lord will make our voices a "sweet, sweet sound in His ear". That's what it's all about. Never about us.... all about Him!

Continue to keep Brotherhood in your prayers. From my initial hear of playback sound bites... this CD will be awesome & our best yet! Can't wait for you to get a listen... but be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

Until next time... blessings.

AMERICAN MT. GET-A-WAY

My wife and I had a great vacation trip to the mountains of N.C. Had the opportunity to also see Brotherhood's former bass man, Mel Hopkins and The Kingdom Heirs at Dollywood. 

Two quick stories from brief conversations with two members: 

(1) Until the age of 12, their wonderful bass singer, Jeff Chapman, had a tenor voice!

(2) I interviewed lead vocalist, Arthur Rice, approx. 5 years ago  after an Orlando concert. I mentioned it when greeting Arthur after the Dollywood concert and he not only remembered it... he also remembered Brotherhood! That's quite a memory!! God bless you guys.

In early July, Brotherhood takes some relaxing moments before studio time. Dan is back from his African missions trip w/ Jesus Film project & we rejoice in the continued Good News being spread via film. Dan, Dennis, Kevin & I eagerly anticipate GREAT things from our Heavenly Father at future concert ministries, Lord willing.

And all of Brotherhood joins all of America celebrate our freedom once again. Do not take it for granted and be thankful to God for what He has preserved for so long. And, all those veterans who faithfully served our great country - we salute and honor you. God bless America, now and always!

See you down the road!
