On June 27th, we were honored to be invited to the celebration get-together for Bro. Bill Hattenhaurer at the Ash Flat Commuity Center. Bro. Hattenhaurer was celebrating 50 years in the ministry. It was a huge turn-out and Bro. Hattenhaurer is worthy of the admiration. May God continue to bless you, Bro. Hattenhaurer, as you continue to do His will.
On July 24th, we will be at Pleasant Ridge Community Church in Poughkeepsie with Bro. Pagan. Please come and be in church with us.
On October 18th, we were invited to sing at the homecoming of Amazing Grace Assembly of God in Maumelle. Our very dear friend and pastor, Larry Skinner, always treats us just like "family", and we love Bro. Larry and the church people there.
On November 1st, it was our first time at The Remnant Pentecostal Church in Cabot, but not our first time to be service with Pastor Gary Graves. Bro. Graves reminded us that he has been on board with the Beebe Believers since Shekanah's early, early years. He has supported in so many ways and we love Bro. and Sis. Graves and we felt blessed to be in service with them. We had a time!!
On November 8th, (and for the first time in three years), we sang at our home church, Beebe First Assembly of God. Bro. Glenn Dorsey is our pastor and has been our pastor for over 25 years. We felt loved and we felt blessed. We need to sing there more often.
On November 12th, we sang at the Beebe Prime Timers supper. Alvin had to be in Texas and the three girls had to "get the job done", and we found out real fast, WE NEED ALVIN. We love you, Prime Timers!
On November 15th, we sang at the Fall Roundup at First Assembly of God in Jacksonville with Bro. Royce Lowe. We had a great service and enjoyed a good dinner and sweet fellowship.
On December 5th, we traveled again to Lepanto Assembly of God to be in service with Bro. Gary Finley. We sure love Bro. Gary and Sis. Paula and there are some mightly fine folks at this church. What a good time in the Lord and such a sweet service.
We are on our way this Saturday, December 12, to be in service with Bro. Dale Carter and his new church, Harvest Fellowship in Lonoke. We have been in several churches with Bro. Carter and he and Sis. Carter are worthy of the call. We are looking forward to a great time.
AND REMEMBER, New Year's Eve, Ft. Reach Church with Bro. Don Hillis (501-354-5831 - call for directions). Ft. Reach is in the Morrilton vicinity.
Until next time, Brenda
September 27, both the a.m. and p.m. services, we were blessed to be in service with Bro. Bob King at United Fellowship in El Paso. Bro. King is a "now" preacher for a "now" time. We love the annointing and excitement we feel each time we are asked to come. The people just make us feel so good and we feel so loved. Bro. Bob and Kathy, we are just a phone call away. God Bless all of you.
October 4 - Well, we got up at 5:00 a.m., and got back home after 7:00 p.m. We ministered in the morning service at Faith Tablenacle in Clarendon with Bro. and Sis. Green. We stayed all day for their homecoming and was ministered to by the local church and we were truly blessed. We met so many great people, some coming as far as West Helena, and even North Carolina, to be in service with us. What a time we had in the Lord. We will be waiting to hear from you and can't wait to come again. Praise the Lord. God is Good!
Note: Remember, Shekanah has a new CD coming out in about 4 weeks titled "Bluegrass by Request and a Little More". This new recording will bless you and so many of you have already pre-ordered. Please give Shekanah a call or e-mail us and we will sure get one in the mail to you as soon as they are delivered.
Until next time, Brenda
Since last entry, we traveled back to Pleasant Ridge Community Church in Poughkeepsie on July 25th. We have been going and singing at this church for many years and we feel just like family. Bro. Pagan and the church always greet us with "open arms". We sure had a good time and we look forward to going again.
On August 1st, we sang for the first time at West Pine Bluff Church of God. Bro. Scott Cox and his wife are new pastors and I believe God has something special in store for them. It was good to worship with them and it is our prayer that God's blessings will reign.
On August 22nd, we were blessed again to be invited by Bro. Chris Foster to come and minisiter at Hickory Grove Missionary Baptist Church (just North of Newport) .... and we found it this time. These people love to sing praises to our Lord and King and Bro. Chris just has the "word" overflowing in him. We love you (too) Sis. Michelle and all the kind folks at Hickory Grove. Thank you for your encouraging comments in our guestbook.
Next Sunday night, August 30th, we will be at Blackland Freewill Baptist Church (just out of Oil Troucgh) and (my alma mater). Give us a call and we will tell you how to get there!
Until next time, Brenda
On June 28, 2009, we again sang at the Homecoming of Salado Baptist Church. We love these people. Bro. David is a fine man and a dedicated preacher. We sure enjoyed his Sunday morning message. We look forward to next year and getting to be a part of their Homecoming. Family and friends coming together does make a difference.
July 11, 2009, HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS!! We sang at the United Christian Church in White Hall, and we had CHURCH. People arrived early and waited over an hour and it blessed us so much to know that they had come expecting. Bro. Maddox and the whole church welcomed us warmly. The altar service was great and a soul was saved AND THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. We were privileged to have our producer, Mark Little, join us for the evening and he blessed the crowd with some songs.
Upcoming, we have Pleasant Ridge Community Church in Poughkeepsie on July 25th; West Pine Bluff Church of God on August 1st; Hickory Grove Baptist Church (near Newport) on August 22nd; and Blackland Freewill Baptist Church (near Oil Trough) on August 30th. COME SEE US!!
Until next time, Brenda
On March 29th, we were scheduled to be at Blackland Freewill Baptist Church (near Oil Trough) when our singing was cancelled due to the untimely death of a young woman in the church. Our heartfelt sypmathy goes out to her family and this church.
On April 11th, we had a great time at Lighthouse Pentecostal Church of God with Bro. James Thomason in Cabot. This pastor is a dear friend and an invitation to come and sing for him is always a blessing. We had a great time!
On April 19th, we were privileged to sing at "Pastor's Appreciation Day" at Mt. Zion Church of God in Judsonia. Bro. Bobby Majors and his wife are great people and are so loved by their congregation. We had a great service after we had been served a wonderful dinner. Thank you, Sis. Carolyn Wortham for the coconut cake.
On April 25th, we got to travel to Troutman's Chapel (near Mayflower) and it was our first time to be there in many years. This was a breaking ground church for our quartet in the early years of our ministry. Bro. Leon Troutman has passed away and now his brother, Bro. Keith Troutman, is the pastor. Bro. Keith sure has a servant's heart. We had a full house and we felt the presence of the Holy Spirit and we made many new friends.
On April 26th, Jerry and Tammy Sullivan, were the special guest at Troutman's Chapel and we traveled back the next night to hear them. We were blessed by this annointed group. Shekanah sang at half-time and at closing and it was a special treat for her. The Sullivans were most complimentary of her talent. We will sure try and go hear this group again. They blessed our hearts.
Until next time,
Brenda
