Happy Easter Week From Karen Peck and New River

Happy Easter week! We have loved watching 'The Bible Series' on our bus over the past few weeks. Looking forward to the final episode on Easter Sunday night! I'm so thankful for Jesus!!

Well, it has been a very busy month. We began the process of recording a new album while hitting a few road blocks along the way. The first week of vocals started with the sudden passing of Jeff Hawes' pastor, Rev. David Hall, 57 years old. He was a great man of God and supported Jeff and our ministry in such a special way. In the same week, Susan, Jeff, and I became sick with colds! We literally prayed and sang our way through the songs! The following week we traveled back to Nashville on our days off and worked tirelessly to create the best possible sound from KPNR. Last week we performed at the Tracy Stuffle Benefit concert, which was awesome, and finished the album the next day! Yay! Honestly, we could feel your prayers through this entire emotional time! After we left the studio the last day and started heading back to Ga., we started listening to the rough mix of everything that we had done over the past few weeks. When we were half way through the CD, all three of us just broke down and cried thanking the Lord for helping us through those difficult days and for His Precious anointing on every song. Needless to say, there is something special about this album. We pray that you will be uplifted and encouraged! The title of the album will be "Finish Well" and will be released sometime in the summer.

Now we are off for a few days and loving every minute of it!! LOL (Sleeping at home in my bed is great as long as a fan is turned on to remind me of the bus engine!! Hahaha) I was hoping to plant some flowers in the front yard, but the freezing cold weather 'ain't' going to let that happen! (I think that groundhog played an early April fool's joke on us!) However, we are looking forward to this weekend spending time with our families and going to church on Sunday.

We want to say a very special thanks to the DJ's for playing "Sustaining Grace" featuring Susan!! Also thanks for playing "God Lives There" from my solo album. We appreciate everyone for calling your local radio station and requesting these songs. It really does make a difference!

I'm ending the newsletter this week with something that I posted on FaceBook this week. May we all cherish this week and hold dear to our hearts what Jesus did on Calvary. We serve a risen Savior!! Happy Easter!!!:)
+++++ +++++ +++++

Two weeks ago was my birthday. I attended an Abraham Production meeting in Winston Salem, NC and later that afternoon, I drove to Nashville, TN to work on KPNR’s new album. It was a very busy, productive day. The weather was 68 degrees and beautiful, making the seven hour drive very pleasant. While I was driving on the long highway interstate 40 stretch filled with beautiful mountains, I began listening to our new tracks to prepare myself for recording. Enjoying the gorgeous scenery and feeling very blessed and excited about the new songs, one particular song entitled, “Jesus Remember Me”, started playing, The chorus says, “You are faithful Beyond faithful, You have heard my every cry. Every sin You have forgotten, though I’ll never know just why. As You’re looking down from Heaven all the millions You must see….OH Jesus, remember me.” While singing the lyrics to this song, I unexpectedly burst into tears. I began to pray about specific things and would cry out, ‘Lord, please remember me.’ All of a sudden, on the right hand side of my car, I noticed a beautiful rock formation with water gushing out… and I felt the Lord say gently to my heart, “But Karen, I always remember you.” Oh…my…goodness! People, I had CHURCH in my car!! LOL I prayed for God to let His anointing ‘GUSH’ out of KPNR just like the water that was gushing out of that rock. Let the songs keep flowing through us. Continue to allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us….and the list goes on.

I’m sharing this with you today to let you know that Jesus has NOT forgotten you. He has your best interest in mind at all times. Every prayer that you’ve prayed, He hears. He has already answered your prayers, He’s just waiting for the right time to let it happen. And every time you pray and ask Him to please remember you, HE is saying, “I always remember you.”

Final thought “Jesus remembered you and me while suffering on an old rugged cross.” I will forever be grateful.

Have a wonderful Easter – Resurrection Celebration!!!

Blessings, Karen

Happy New Year From Karen Peck and New River

From KPNR email newsletter of January 3, 2013:

Happy New Year!

I've been thinking about this for quite some time. How can we have the best year ever? Some people are starting off the new year grieving the loss of a loved one. Some are facing physical challenges. Some are without jobs. The list goes on.
However, I believe that if we spend more time with the Lord by praying and reading His Word, this time next year we will say that 2013 was the best year ever. Maybe our circumstances surrounding us may not be the best, but as long as we are walking closely with God, we will have a peace that the Bible says 'passes all understanding'.
PHILIPPIANS 4:6,7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ."
As long as we have Christ in our lives, that is all we need. He will supply our needs.
Susan sings the song, Sustaining Grace. My favorite line in the song says that 'I tried to make that mountain move, but instead He moved in me.' How many times do we try to remove those mountains in our lives and we find ourselves burned out, complacent, and bitter?
We become weary in well doing. However, if we can step back from the situation and allow God to move those mountains for us, our lives will be filled with peace and contentment. Easier said than done, right?? Well, with the Lord's help, we can do it.
PHILIPPIANS 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let's challenge each other to make the effort to spend more time with our Lord and watch Him do mighty works in our lives. Then, let's have the same conversation this time next year!! I believe we will truly say that we had the best year with the Lord that we've ever had!!!

Love Y'all!!!
Karen

Happy New Year!
Twenty-two years ago, New Year's Eve, we dedicated the KPNR group to The Lord. There have been times that we have had adversities and struggles, but also times of great joy and fulfillment. Psalm 31:7 -I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy for thou has considered my trouble, thou hast know my soul in adversities. God IS with us. My prayer is that everyone has a blessed 2013.

Love,
Susan

I am wishing all of you a very blessed 2013!
It is hard to believe that this weekend will be my 3 year anniversary with KPNR. Time has flown by! Honestly, it has been such a dream come true and I cannot thank you enough for your support and prayers. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us all in 2013, and I want to encourage you to keep pressing on - no matter where you are or what you're doing, give The Lord your BEST!!!!

A Busy Month For Karen Peck and New River

New River News Blast August 20, 2012

Hey Friends!

It has been a very busy month! We had the honor and privilege of performing one last time at the Georgia Mountain Center in our hometown of Gainesville, Ga. I can remember when it was built! We have been there many times over the years. Brenau College has purchased it and will use it for other purposes. So...no more concerts after this year! Thanks to all of you who came out to share this special time with us. You are true friends! Also, congrats to Stanley Pierce and the St. Jude's Hospital for the money that was raised.

The following Monday, after Gainesville, we flew to London, England for a couple of fun days. With very little sleep, we toured most of London. We were not able to go to the Olympics, but we saw a lot of athletes walking around. And yes...it was crowded! My favorite place was Westminster Abbey. It was so awesome standing in the same places where Kings and Queens and other important people had stood. At the end of the tour, we lit candles and prayed. It was a very special time.

After London, we flew to Sweden to perform during the weekend along with Wes Hampton, Charlotte Ritchie, Woody Wright, and the Taylors. Each concert was amazing! Even though we had an interpreter, it was awesome to experience how when the anointing of the Lord showed up, the language barriers fell to the ground. We literally had revival in Sweden! (It was a great trip, except for the part where the airlines lost Jeff's and my luggage on the flight home. However, we did get it the next day.)

Our hearts are saddened by the sudden passing of our good friend/songwriter, Stephen Hill. Stephen wrote "Why Can't All God's Children Get Along?" and several other hits in gospel music. He is seen in all of the Bill and Gloria Gaither Homecoming videos. He will be missed.

As always, we want to say a special 'thanks' to all of the DJ's for playing our music. "Good Things Are Happening" has debuted at #34 on the Southern Gospel Music charts! Congrats to writers, Sonya Isaacs and Wayne Haun. Also thanks to all of you for calling your local radio station and requesting it!!

A reminder, Abraham Production's Gatlinburg Gathering, Labor Day Weekend (August 30-September 2). Gatlinburg Civic Center, Gatlinburg, Tn. For ticket information: 1-888-238-6858 or www.abrahamproductions.net

Love and prayers,
Karen
