Hello Sound of Faith Fans,
        I know it has been a while since we've sent anything to those on our mail list but we will try to be more timely in the future.  We really do want to keep you informed about Sound of Faith so that you can keep up with us and with what we are doing for God's glory!

To start with, there are several opportunities coming up to catch Sound of Faith playing live.  As always, you can get this info on our website, http://www.SoundOfFaith.com.  But here is the list:

The Ichthys festival will be GREAT entertainment, but we hope that it is so much more.  We are praying that God is able to reach a lost soul (or several) during the event.  It actually starts at 1:00 in Kannapolis and goes to 10:00.  That's a FULL day of music.  As we understand it, at this point there will be about 17 different acts ranging from church choirs, to soloists, to bands; ALL Christian.  I know I can't wait to see the groups myself!

Other news that we'd like to share is that God is blessing us with a new place to create, practice, and record.  In this new area, we will be able to leave our equipment setup ALL THE TIME!  We've never had this luxury in the past, and I can assure you that we are all VERY excited about this.

As a group, Sound of Faith is getting ready to celebrate our 4th birthday!  Though we are not the exact same group that started at Mt. Olivet, UMC, we realize that we would not be where we are if it were not for God helping us along the way.  Anytime we have ever gotten down or distracted as a group, He has always refocused us on Him and put us back on the right track. Praise God!  On that note, we'd like to thank EVERYONE that has been with us or supported us over the years.  We know that we wouldn't be where we are without the contributions and support of the former members and the supporters that we've had along the way.  So, to all of you, we sincerely thank God for you and want you to know that you are in our hearts and prayers all the time!

We are currently looking to fill out some open spots on our calendar for the remainder of the year and get a jump start on next years calendar.  We are also aware that many festivals, fairs, and the like are booked well in advance.  If you'd like to book us, or if you know of someone that would, please have them email: info@soundoffaith.com or, simply respond to this email and I'll direct it to our scheduling person and we'll be back in touch.

On behalf of all of the members of Sound of Faith, as well as Sound of Faith Ministries, Inc.,
Thank you - and GOD BLESS!
