Singing Convention

The Rusk County Singing Convention decided it would be easier to hold both days of the convention at the Old Pine Grove Church, and therefore will not be meeting at Redland in the future.

Singing Convention

Our singing is tomorrow at the Redland Church. It is one day of the two-day Rusk County Singing Convention. Here is the information.

Please make time to join us for the Rusk County Singing Convention on the 4th weekend in April. The convention will be held Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27, 2014 in Rusk County, Texas.

The Saturday session sings from The Christian Harmony (2010 Revision) at Old Redland Church. Old Redland church house is at the corner of FM 1798 and FM 2496, about 2 miles east of Laneville, Texas. The Sunday session sings from The Sacred Harp (2012 Cooper Revision) at the Old Pine Grove Church & Cemetery. Old Pine Grove is located on County Road 364, southeast of Henderson, Texas. Each day we will start at 10:00 a.m. and conclude around 3:00 p.m.

It won't be long til the Christian Harmony singing at Old Redland. Make your plans to attend. We will gather (d.v.) on Saturday April 26, 2014.

London Christian Harmony Singing, 27 Oct 2013 -- A nice album of 62 tracks from the London Christian Harmony Singing held in October 2013, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Arthur Swindells.

Old Fashioned Day

The Redland Community Center has agreed to give Highways and Byways Ministries use of the building. They will be re-opening the church with an "Old-Fashioned Day" on Saturday, April 20th. Service will begin at 2:00 p.m. There will be singing and dinner on the ground. Dress like old-time meeting days. Everyone is invited to attend.

Happenings

We have a new board member. Teana Robinson was elected to fill the vacancy created by Gene Barron's resignation.

The board voted to allow Highways and Byways Ministry to use the building on Saturday nights.

Upcoming:
Christian Harmony singing -- Saturday before the 4th Sunday in April
McCune Cemetery homecoming -- Last Sunday in May
