News Update

I AM A CHRISTIAN:  Our new CD is finished and in the duplication process.  The theme is still forgiveness but in designing the cover and listening to the songs 500 times, we decided to go with the title "I Am A Christian".  The cover will be a cool version of the Christian Flag which we have decided to be a continuing theme for our ministry.  Our Kingdom is not of this world, so we are going to continue write songs that give an eternal perspective.  Here are the 11 tracks:

1.  When You Forgive

2. Write my Hurts in the Sand

3.  I am a Christian

4.  But for the Grace of God Go I

5.  My God is Bigger

6.  Investing in Gold

7.  Saving My Best for First

8.  Roots

9.  Don’t Water Down the Gospel

10. Defenders of the Faith

11. I am a Christian (Reprise)

  

HOMECOMING 2012:  Mark your calendars now for New Year’s Eve at 6 PM for our annual Homecoming concert.  We will be debuting the new tour and will take a special love offering for our adoption.  Checks can be made to Bill and Karen Itzel Ministries and all gifts are tax deductible.  The concert will be about 90 minutes long so you’ll have time to do something after the concert if you like to celebrate New Years.  As usual, the concert will be at the Forcey Bible Church in Silver Spring, MD. www.forcey.org

PRAYER REQUEST:  We have several open dates in January and February that we need to fill.  These 2 months always seem to be difficult to book but God has always provided.  If your church would be able to help us out on one of these Sundays, please have the Pastor or Worship leader give me a call or email me.  Beginning in January, we are offering 2 different types of concerts!  First, is our standard blended concert, and the second is a more conservative concert for more traditional churches.  Here are a few great reasons to book a concert in January or February:

·      It gives your Music Team a break after the busy Christmas season

·      It kicks off the new year with something special

·      It gives those new contacts who come at Christmas a special reason to return

·      It helps out a family in full-time ministry who have proven themselves faithful through the years

Open dates:

December 23 – AM

January 6 – AM

January 13 – PM

January 20 – AM or PM

January 27 – PM

February 10 – PM

February 17 – PM

February 24 - PM

 

JOYSONG CD:  Many of you remember my mother, Pat, who sang with us in the 90’s as “Simply Faith”.  She is still singing and just recorded a new gospel/inspirational CD with her trio, Joysong.  They have graciously decided to give the album away for a donation to our adoption.  If you would like to know how you can get one of these CD’s, email me atinfo@billandkarenitzel.com
