Special Guest Bobby Bowen
Sunday, August 15th, 2010
Morning Worship Services

At the age of 16, Bobby Bowen knew he had a calling on his life to sing Gospel music.  In 1982, his dream came true when he was offered a job with The MidSouth Boys Quartet as lead vocalist/bassist.  After 3 years the group changed direction and became a Christian Country trio, finding success with their first top 10 song on The Singing News top 40 charts.  Bobby was nominated in the top 10 finalists for lead singer of the year at the Singing News Fan Awards. A recording contract with Word Records in 1989 produced another top 5 song, "Sin Met Grace," and "Tabernacle" was a top 10 song in 1990 resulting in a video on CMT and TNN.  The band was nominated for a Grammy for Southern Gospel Album of the Year in 1992, and their third CD with Word Records produced another hit on CMT that same year.  In 1994, MidSouth signed a recording contract with Warner Alliance and in 1995 their freshman project with the label produced the hit, "Without You (I Haven’t Got A Prayer)," which crossed over different music genres reaching number 27 on Billboard’s Pop charts.  A video release to CMT and VH1 also resulted from the crossover hit.  The band won a Dove Award in 1995 for "Country Recorded Song of the Year" and that same year they won "Vocal Group Of The Year" at The CCMA Awards.  The members of MidSouth retired in 1997, leaving time for Bobby to become more involved in his church and start a family.  He became the sound tech at Cornerstone Church in Madison, Tennessee where he attends with his wife Becky and their children, Grace, Landis, Hope and Faith. Bobby has 25 years of experience singing Southern and Christian Country and it’s his desire to minister as a soloist full-time.

Fall Choir Rehearsal Kick-off
Sunday, August 1st, 2010
7:00 pm

Spread the word and encourage people to join the choir!  August 1st at 7 pm is a great time to jump on board and start something new.  Speaking of new…we will kick off August with new music from First Baptist Church Woodstock in Atlanta Georgia.  We will be using a collection of songs entitled Unstoppable.  It includes songs by Mercy Me, Christy Nockels (Watermark), Paul Baloche, Mandisa and The Gaither Vocal Band. Each song has been arranged for choir by Cliff Duren, senior Minister of Music for Woodstock.  There is a great mix of orchestra and praise band in the accompaniment with rich choir harmonies and solo overlays in the lyrics.  This is a collection with a little something for everyone!  Make your plans to join us on Sunday, August 1st for our fall choir rehearsal kick-off.
