Miles Pike New CD Blood Kin Slated For October Release

October is a month of celebration for Miles Pike. First of all, this October, Miles is celebrating his fourth #1 song, "Teach Me To Love Like That," in the Christian Voice Magazine, off his CD, "Walk Through The Pages." As it happens, October is also the six-year anniversary of full time ministry for Miles. This being Miles' sixth year of full time ministry, he is also lining out details for his 6th annual homecoming concert this month. Last but not least, Miles' fourth CD project, "Blood Kin" is slated to be released in October.

This project is a 15-track collaboration of some of the greatest minds in Nashville, including Gary Prim, Kelly Back, Reggie & Ladye Love Smith, and Tommy Cooper, just to name a few. Also appearing as a special guest vocalist on two songs is the late Stephen Hill, in one of his last vocal recordings before he went home to glory.

In the truest sense, "Blood Kin" is near and dear to Miles' heart, because it features songs from the pen of his Dad and the voice talents of his Mom, aunt, and wife. The release of this CD falls on the six-year anniversary of full-time, national ministry for Miles.

Miles' sixth annual homecoming concert on March 2, 2013 at 6:00PM, will highlight this CD's theme by featuring a 75 voice choir made up of volunteers from over 35 churches in the east Texas area. This unique body of believers have come to represent their church in worship, and to make the statement that we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. Not Baptists, not Methodists, not Pentecostal, Nazarene, or any other denomination we may use to describe ourselves. We are all first and foremost, blood kin, through Christ's sacrifice.

The choir will back Miles up on several of his new songs, and will also accompany special guest, Gaither Homecoming Artist, Larry Ford. There are a handful of slots still available for volunteers in the choir. If this is something that you feel you would like to be part of, please contact Miles through his website at www.MilesPikeMusic.com.

From the beginning these annual homecoming concerts have been sponsored by Miles as a gift back to his community. Doors are open to all, and a freewill offering will be received. This special evening of worship will begin at 6:00PM at Colonial Hills Baptist Church, on South Broadway, in Tyler, TX. Doors open at 5:00PM, so come early for the best seats. In celebration of all this happening, www.MilesPikeMusic.comwill feature for the month of October a product special: All four of Miles' CDs for $40 and free shipping. You can also check out the digital store for your iPod or MP3 player.

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

Be sure to check our schedule. We would love to see you! Please continue to pray for us! God is faithful!

Love and prayers,
Karen
