Soul'd Out
Make your plans now to attend our “Faith & Friends Celebration” event scheduled for Saturday night, February 25th at Freedom Baptist Church in Ranburne, AL. The concert will feature the Jonathans and our very special guests pictured here, Soul’d Out Quartet from Georgetown, OH. Soul’d Out was the recipient of the “Horizon Group Of The Year” award at the 2010 Singing News Fan Awards presentation. This group of young, energetic, and exciting men have been winning over audiences nationwide. Their performance includes a vintage style of gospel music while keeping current with more modern styles, never losing the focus of their ministry – to win the lost and point everyone to the cross. Make your plans now to be a part of this unforgettable night of gospel music. No ticket is required but a love offering will be received. The concert begins at 6:30 PM EST. We’ll see you there!
Can you believe it’s already February!!! Only 11 months till Christmas!!! Before we think about that we need to let you know what’s going on with the Jonathans this month. We begin the first weekend of February at the Gulf Coast Quartet Convention in Orange Beach, AL. Pastor Paul Smith has coordinated this entire event and the Jonathans are honored to be a part of it. We’ll be sharing the stage with some wonderful singers and musicians like The Hoppers, Jeff & Sheri Easter, Phil Cross, HisSong, and our friends from right down the road here…..Hope’s Journey and the Paul Family. Tickets are still available if you’d like to be a part of this 3-day event at the Conference Center at the Wharf, in beautiful Orange Beach. We’re there all 3 days so be sure to stop by and say “hi”! If you come along, bring your golf clubs……Eric and Tory (sound man) are planning a golf outing and will probably need some supervision!!
Hey friends……WOW, what a weekend we had!!! Fort Smith, Arkansas was fantastic on Friday night with our friends The Savage Family. It was so good to see Tom and renew acquaintances once again, and meet his wonderful family. They are such sweet people and we thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Fort Smith. We didn’t think it could get any better but it did! Saturday night’s church in Oklahoma City was packed out. I think they brought out every chair in the building and had them set up on every aisle, along the back wall, in the foyer entrances. If there was room on the stage I believe we could’ve put folks up there too. So sorry to hear that some turned around and left when they realized they couldn’t get into the building, but what a singing it was!! Our friends at AIC-TV.org broadcast the concert over the internet until we showed up! Apparently our new wireless microphones were on the same frequency as the church internet router, so every time we got up to sing it would knock out the internet at the church. About 11:00 that night, as we were finishing our last portion of the program, they asked us to sing again using the wired microphones and explained the situation to us and the audience. Word had it that there were viewers from all over the world watching The Jonathans……Germany, Brazil, Canada…..even California!! What an opportunity to share the gospel in song. On Sunday morning we shared the service with the Yellow Hill Baptist Church Youth Choir who also sang Saturday night. What a wonderful group of young people from Cherokee, NC. They turned their trip to Oklahoma into a mission trip ministering to the homeless of Oklahoma City. These guys and gals truly had a servants heart and we were blessed to be in service with them. We’re already looking forward to returning to Oklahoma and enjoying more fellowship and worship with these tremendous people. Thanks Devon and Masters Touch for making our first trip to Oklahoma so memorable.
