Report From

The Crites Familx;

Greetings in the Name of the Lord to allour Brothers and Sisters in Christ! We hada very heavy and exciting time in themonth of July. God blessed us in so manydifferent ways and we give him all theglory for it.

On July 1st and 2nd, we were at theUnited Baptist Church in Knox, Indiana asguest of Pastor Rodney Rudd and theSinging Rudds. We all had a great timethere. The fellowship was just simplygreat. They provided us with nice motelrooms plus a bountiful delicious lunch atnoon on Sunday. The saints in the churchtreated us with such kindness and

fellowship, which we shall never forget.We just praise God for all the finefellowship we had while being up in thatpart of the state and we are lookingforward to going back up there sometime.

The Singing Rudds are a great ChristianFamily and we recommend them highly.They will certainly bless your church.They have a very outstanding pianoplayer. He is a fine young Christian boy.

Our manager and wife attended the"Inspirations" llth annual singing in thesmokies the week of July 4th. They cameback uplifted and refreshed greatly in theLord. It seems as of the last few weeks, the

Lord has given us all a greater desire to domore for the Lord and to sing his praises asnever before.

We sincerely ask that you all pray for usas we travel down the highways singing hispraises aiul seeking lost souls to be saved.

May (lod bless each of you is ourprayers.

Yours in Christ Jesus

Bobby

The Tributet First Annual Gospel Sing heldJune 3 & 4 at Russell County High School Gymwas a great success. Approximately 600people enthusiastically listened and showedtheir approval as nine of Kentucky's finestsinging groups sang their hearts out. Fourstates and over 40 cities, towns, andcommunities were represented inattendance. An address survey showed over58% of the people were from outside RussellCounty.

Saturday nights session featured the JoyMakers of Greensburg, the Cross Roads Fourof Columbia, and the Chordsmen and SouthernHarmony Boys of Bowling Green. Sundayssession featured the Psalmsmen of London,the Polston Family of Jabez, the GospelMessengers of Russell Springs, and theServants of Campbellsvllle. The Tributes sangat both sessions. Reverend Gary "Round Man"Polston was the master of Ceremones.

The highlight of the singing had to be thecrowds enthusiastic standing ovation onSaturday night, when Don Parker, of theTributes, sang the high notes on gospelmusic's number one song, "Standing On TheSolid Rock".

The Tributes wish to extend their thanks to

everyone who helped make this program avery enjoyable and memorable experience aswe celebrated our first year together.
