CD Availability
Dear beloved brothers and singers,
I wanted to send a brief update to let you know that Brothers Denny and Andy have concluded the work of mixing and producing our What Heavenly Music recording, and we will begin distributing CDs and MP3s soon, in the next few days and weeks!
CDs will be mailed and/or distributed using the network of our rich heritage and brotherhood, and once we’ve worked out the details, we will be reaching out by email to those who ordered MP3 recordings with a way to download your files. Also, look for an announcement soon from Rejoicify regarding the opportunity to listen to our recording there – be sure to register for an account if you haven’t already!
Although I’ve listened to the tracks at least 2 dozen times, it was still very moving to review the “final mix” last week, and I’m truly humbled to have been part of this work. Dear men, how I look forward to joining you all in that marvelous choir in the sky, when we’ve all crossed over Jordan! Thank you for participating and praying for God’s blessings on our efforts!
Wishing you God’s abundant blessings on your Thanksgiving remembrance tomorrow…
Joyfully,
Jeff
Thank You!
On behalf of the Morris and Morris North churches, I want to thank all who came to worship with us for the 2025 men’s sing. We were blessed beyond measure to have you here, and as those Heavenly Chords just keep flooding our souls, we thank the Lord and you for sharing your talents with us in the Morris area. It’s humbling to be the beneficiaries of such an outpouring of beauty, harmony, emotion, and love as we experienced throughout the weekend.
Lord willing, the 2027 ACMS will be hosted by Roanoke, Illinois, and they plan to share a tentative date soon to get it on your calendars. We also announced Saturday night that Akron, OH, has expressed the desire to host in 2029.
In Christ,
Jeff, on behalf of the hosts in the Morris area
