Gold City To Appear In Benefit Concert

Special Note from Gold City

Wednesday, April 27 our home state of Alabama was subject to a day of massive destruction. In a matter of hours, an estimated total of 173 tornadoes made their way through Alabama destroying everything in it’s path.

Men, women, children, pets and homes were lost on this horrific day. In some areas, entire communities were wiped out. The destruction that we see all around us, and the heartbreaking stories of lost loved ones and homes has weighed heavily on our hearts.
We have come together with a group of awesome people to do what we can to make a difference. We invite you personally to join us.

Pierson Chevrolet of Gadsden along with Three On A String, Foggy Hollow, Nashville Fiddleman Tim Watson and Gold City are proud to present a Relief Benefit Concert for our local communities that were affected by these storms.

Free admission!! Concessions and handicap parking will be available. All you need to do is bring your own lawn chair and a friend! Gates open at 4:30 PM.

We are praying that you and your church will get together, load up and come join in helping our neighbors. We believe we have the best fans and friends out there, and we would love to have you come show our local communities just how amazing and supportive you all are!
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and support and we hope to see you and your church there!

CCM ARTIST LAURA KACZOR IS TOP 20 ON BILLBOARD CHART FOR TWO WEEKS IN A ROW WITH NEW SINGLE ALIVE IN YOU

Video For Single Will Release In Early July And Will Be Featured At The International Christian Retail Convention in Atlanta Next Month

Nashville, TN (June 9, 2011) ----- CCM artist Laura Kaczor (kuh-ZURE) continues to generate buzz, while building a loyal fan base, as she is rapidly becoming the breakout artist of the year. Kaczor’s current single, Alive In You debuted on Billboard’s Soft AC/Inspirational chart at #19, which made the song the highest debut of last week, and the tune remains in the Top 20 this week. The single was co-written by Kaczor, her producer 6-time Dove Award winner Don Koch (Phllips, Craig & Dean, NewSong) and Dove award winning writer, Chad Cates. A video for the single was produced by Stephen Yake (newsboys, Michael W. Smith) and will be released July 5. The video will be featured at the International Christian Retail Convention in Atlanta next month, along with a showcase of Kaczor performing her new music.

“Thank you so much to all of my radio friends and the faithful listeners,” exclaims Kaczor. “I'm so excited about the success of Alive in You, as it's more than I ever dreamed. I've started this journey because I wanted to become a part of people's lives and to encourage them through every stage with the amazing hope we have in Jesus. I'm humbled by the privilege to be able to do that, and so much more. God is good!”

"Laura Kaczor is one of the strongest up and coming artists on Christian radio today,” says Wendell Gafford, President, Creative Promotions. “Programmers have quickly embraced her music, as well as her heart and passion for the Lord, and are excited about partnering with her in ministry. In my 17 years as a radio promoter, I have had few artists embraced by Christian radio programmers as quickly as Laura Kaczor!"

Kaczor’s previous single Invisible also garnered tremendous success by achieving a Top 25 on the Billboard chart, #7 on Christian Music Weekly’s Worship chart and #14 on CMW’s Soft AC/Inspirational chart, with over 100 radio stations playing the song. Invisible and Alive In You are from Kaczor’s debut album, Love Enough that was released through Universal MCG/Fontana distribution on LifeThirst Records/IE. Kaczor co-wrote 9 of the 10 songs on the CD and collaborated with such high-profile writers such as Brian White who has written 12 #1 singles and Carl Cartee, a staff writer at Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing and founder of “Inspire” Worship Conferences.

God Feet Team Brings Hope to Haiti, with a Message of Love and Flip Flops

QUEEN CREEK, Az., June 9, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- More than 550 men, women and children in the Western Hemisphere's most impoverished country received a new pair of flip flops this week, as a team of God Feet representatives traveled to Port-au-Prince, Haiti. God Feet, a Faith inspired footwear Company gives a pair of new shoes to someone in need for each pair purchased. The team visited 7 orphanages and talked with countless Port-au-Prince locals, bringing a message of hope through Faith Inspired flip flops.

There are over 1.5 million orphans in Haiti. Most orphanages are underfunded, under staffed and the children have nothing to call their own. "To a child who has nothing, a new pair of shoes means the world" Says Co-Founder Shannon Gillette, who was along for the trip. "We were able to spread the gospel through sandals, and help each child truly believe that they are special and not forgotten," Shannon added.

Many people in Haiti suffer from infection, parasites and disease caused from walking without shoes. "Given the conditions and warm climate in Haiti, flip flops are a great way to protect them from open sores and soil transmitted parasites caused from walking barefoot," David Gillette, Founder of God Feet mentioned when talking about his recent trip to Haiti. God Feet sandals were specially designed for rough terrain, while featuring inspirational scripture and design.

In addition to visiting Haiti this week, God Feet has also launched a program called "Back 2 Church." Churches all around the world can raise money and free God Feet for their mission teams by simply requesting their own unique promo code. Church members, friends and family can go to www.Godfeet.com and enter their special promo code at checkout. God Feet will then track every purchase made and match every pair back to that organization, in addition to a $2 donation for every matched pair. Mission teams all over the world will be able to provide a new and innovative dimension to God's work, and perform their very own Flip Flop Drops.
