Two Churches, Two Seasons

Thanksgiving - a season for remembering God's blessings in our lives

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."

Colossians 2:6-7

Christmas - A season of Joy, celebrating Jesus, the light of the world, coming to earth to save us from our sins

Come hear our Christmas program for this year - "Eternal Light"!

"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalm 27:1

Merry Christmas!

We were privileged to play at the Veteran's Day Republican function in Grundy County.

Lance Horbach, an Iowa House Representative, gave a tribute to the veterans.
Some of the other speakers included Annette Sweeney from the Iowa House, Bill Dix from the Iowa Senate, Steve King from the U.S House of Representatives, Pat Grassley - an Iowa State Representative, and Charles Grassley - a United States Senator.

After we played our instruments, we got pictures with Pat Grassley, Charles Grassley,
and Lance Horbach. Thanks guys!

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

– 2 Chronicles 7:14

Marion County State Bank put together an evening for their senior patrons and we were the entertainment. Held at the new Christian High School in Pella, we enjoyed playing in their beautiful auditorium. After the concert, everybody ate Dutch Letter ice cream – made locally! It was absolutely delicious. I had no idea there even was such a thing!

Party time!

We played at a small John Deere work party for engineers. The party was unlike any we’d ever been to. Think of the typical engineer and then picture this: a group of engineers all singing “Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes” and doing the actions!!! Wow. Anyway, we had fun. J

New and Exciting!

Guess what? We are currently working on producing our fourth CD and are very excited! For the first time, we recorded at Catamount Studios, an ‘acoustically brilliant’ 4,000-square-foot, world-class recording studio in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Catamount has 16-foot ceilings with bass traps. Each room is on a different slab of concrete to keep vibrations from traveling between rooms. There are absolutely no parallel surfaces or 90-degree angles, leaving the room with a beautiful, warm sound. We were even able to record during a thunder/rain storm without knowing it! We loved having the room to spread out and not be squished together. The grand piano was a wonderful addition to the CD in place of the electric piano we regularly use.

After many long hours, we finished recording our fourth CD and are now working on the graphic design (me) paying royalties (Mommy) and mixing and mastering the tracks (our recording engineer, Jake). Look for our new CD in a few weeks!
