The Hyssongs will be presenting a concert of Gospel Music. Mark your calendar to be sure to be in Church on Sunday, July 25 at the 10:00 a.m. Combined Service. Invite family, friends, and/or neighbors.

Dell, Susan, and Richard Hyssong travel full-time as the award-winning Hyssongs. Their  energetic ministry combines family vocal harmony, humor, and brass instruments (trumpet and trombone) to delight audiences with their Christ-centered message, shared through the powerful hmedium of music. The family's classical music background along with their harmony and specific chord structures, lend them a unique sound that has made quite an impact on audiences.

The group has been singing together as a family for 25 years. The Hyssongs have received many accolades for their quality, inspirational Southern Gospel sound. They were awarded the Singing New Fan Award for Favorite New Trio in 2014 at the National Quartet Convention, Pigeon Forge, TN. Every year since then they have been voted Top Ten Trio of the Year. You can visit their website: www.the hyssongs.com.

We will be taking a love offering to help support the Hyssongs ministry as they spread the gospel. Cash and checks made out to The Hyssongs will be appreciated. Questions, see Joyce Hall.
