Earlier Editions of Trust~Worthy News, Pt. 2

From November 2011 Right now I'm sitting on the Trust bus, winding down from a typical Trust Quartet day. We left Okeechobee and headed a bit north, stopped and ate supper along the way. While we were eating supper, we enjoyed visiting with our server, Destiny. We made it to our destination, unloaded the bus and did our sound check. Then for two hours, we sang. A Trust Quartet rehearsal can quickly turn into a time of worship. When Rhonda started singing with Trust, we also invited Parm Bailey, a dear Trust alumnus to come along and sing some of the older songs with us. One of the songs we have started singing again is taken from the 101st Psalm, "I will look unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord." As we sang that song tonight, I closed my eyes and thought how God wants to protect us, to help us. Then we sang another song that we will begin to put back in the concerts ~ I Rest My Case At The Cross. As we sang that song, we went from rehearsing to worshipping. We sang it time and again, and I honestly believe we sang it more because of the way the song ministered to us than the rehearsal value. Back to the bus, and I'm listening to stories being swapped. We've told some jokes and laughed. More importantly, we were able to share around God's Word. What I've just described is a typical day on the Trust Bus. We spend quality time rehearsing and singing, but we are a family that enjoys spending time together. We genuinely love one another. October was a month of learning one another. The group transformation has taken on a new life and it is exciting. The response to our concerts has been positive. We were fortunate to be with our friends, Simple Faith Trio to celebrate their Fourth Anniversary. Our friends, New Day also sang with us as well as some surprise guests. The concert was great, but then we all invaded Steak and Shake ~~~ 'nuff said! Columbus and LaGrange, GA came along on the schedule, and although it was a long trip, we enjoyed some real bonding time. E.W. and Mary Rawlins, Bev's brother and his wife along with some family were able to be with us in Columbus. My Uncle Terry and his wife Sue were able to be with us for a concert in LaGrange. Family and some close friends made this trip extra special. Oh, and three concerts in 24 hours and an all night trip back has a tendency to build relationships quickly! Anthony, FL hosted Trust Quartet for a Saturday night and Sunday morning at the Anthony United Methodist Church. We are thankful for the opportunity to minister to the dear friends there and look forward to a trip back real soon. It was Round-Up Day in Port Charlotte, FL to wrap up the month of October. A record attendance came to Berean Baptist Church to celebrate! Oh, and you'll not find any better BBQ than what was slow-grilled that day! Is there a GLORY in the house?? As you listen to Classics Made New (you HAVE gotten your copy now, right?), the first song you'll hear is one Bill and Gloria Gaither wrote, Loving God, Loving Each Other. Friends, that honestly describes Trust Quartet. We love God, we love each other, and we love you who help us in this ministry. Without you, it simply would not be possible. As we prepare to get in the bunks, and sing in the morning, we look forward to seeing what God will accomplish. This is a typical day in the life of Trust. And as we move along the road, please come see us when you can, and most of all, pray for us as we minister.
