July 2009 Newsletter - NEW!!
Dear Friends,
Psalm 8:1
says "O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the
earth! What a privilege for us to be serving our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. In this hour when it seems our country has hit
rock bottom, morally, economically, and politically, God is
still and forever will be on His Throne. We still believe
America is a Christian nation and we are "one nation
under God" and we can still see revival in 2009.
The Lord
has allowed us to be in some great meetings the first half of
2009 and we anticipate even greater in the following months to
come. People have seen the urgency of the hour and they are
realizing that now, more than ever, we need the Lord to "Send
The Rain" to this dry and desert land. It's our desire that the
Spirit of the Lord has His way in each and every service He
allows us to take part in. We are grateful for each open door He
has for us, and we want to enter each one with anticipation that
the Lord is moving with power and in demonstration!
August is
HOMECOMING SINGING time for the Rochesters. We want to invite
you to our 11th Annual Homecoming Sing Friday, August 21
at 6:30PM. The singing will be held again at the Gaffney High
School Auditorium in Gaffney, SC. Groups tentatively scheduled
to take part that evening will be The Phillips Family, The
Erwins, Geraldine and Ricky and The Rochesters. We are also
planning on having Dr. Ralph Sexton Jr, Pastor of Trinity
Baptist Church in Asheville, NC preach for us during the
service. This year, we are having FREE ADMISSION for the
singing, and a love offering will be taken during the service.
We would love to have you with us on Friday night for our
singing. Come, and bring a friend!
The time of
year has come to vote for the 2009 FRONT PORCH FELLOWSHIP
AWARDS. The Rochesters are nominated for: Favorite Group.
Becky is nominated for Favorite Female Artist and Ben is
nominated for Favorite Male Artist and Favorite Instrumentalist.
You can vote at:
www.southerngospel.com/bluegrass. The dead line to vote is
July 31, 2009 and the awards will be given at NQC Thursday Sept,
17 in Louisville, KY. We Thank the Lord for allowing us to be
considered for these awards and we appreciate the votes that you
give.
We would
also like to invite you to go with us on the Singing at Sea
February 15-20, 2010. As this is being written there are a
few cabins left to sail with us from Jacksonville, FL to the
Bahamas. Five exciting days aboard the Carnival ship Fascination
with all the Preaching, singing, fellowship and food you can
absorb in that many days and nights. For a brochure you can call
us at 864-839-5984 or email us at:
sbmm@juno.com. Pastors, it
would be a great (and maybe much needed) vacation for you and
your family. We would love having you go with us as your host
for the week. Contact us for details while there is still space
available.
Thanks to
the radio DJs who are playing our latest single "Patching It
Up". Thanks also to United Independent Artists for promotion to
radio stations. If you have a radio station near you please call
and request it. The song has a wonderful message concerning the
love and grace our Lord has for us. Thanks again!
If you
would like to order CDs or soundtracks please call us at
864-839-9270 or visit us on the web at:
www.therochesterfamily.com. You can be informed about our
upcoming DVD release and Hymns project on the site.
We also want
to say a special "Thank You" to the Sibley Missionary Baptist
Church in Sibley, LA and to Brother Steve Borho and his family
in Texas for taking us on for monthly support. We appreciate
your confidence in us, allowing us to be your "missionaries to
America" spreading the Gospel through song and preaching. We
appreciate your faithfulness to the Lord for allowing Him to use
you as the first church and first family to give us monthly
support. We will try our best to be good stewards of the
finances that the Lord allows you to provide for us. What a
Blessing!
We would be
honored to have you with us in our upcoming meetings and
services. Please pray for us that we honor Him in all that we
say, sing and do! Please also pray for our health, finances and
travels that the Lord keeps us safe every mile that we go. Your
prayers mean so much to us!
Until He
Comes..........................................
