VERSE OF THE
WEEK:
“I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears..” (Psalm 34:4) [NIV]
SOUNDBYTES:

CHRIS RICE continues to set records with his first Adult Contemporary radio hit. "When Did You Fall (In Love With Me)" broke the Top 10 on the Radio & Records AC chart this week, landing in between the latest duet from Faith Hill and Tim McGraw and another big hit from multi-Platinum artist LeAnn Rimes. <>< POINT OF GRACE and NICOLE C. MULLEN have been chosen to promote TiVo’s new “KidZone” service in a promotional campaign. This new innovative technology enables parents to make wiser decisions about their children’s television programming and hide all inappropriate shows from their young eyes and the remote control. <>< Former GAITHER VOCAL BAND vocalist and solo artist DAVID PHELPS will perform an “eclectic version” of "The Star Spangled Banner" on
DIRECTV’s July 4th. special, Songs Of Praise For America. The patriotic program will also feature some of America's best church choirs and mainstream recording artists. <>< Platinum sellers MERCYME performs their Top 20 mainstream AC hit single "So Long Self" on CD USA in rebroadcasts through today on DIRECTV. The band’s set was taped live in front of a studio audience for the weekly hour-long TV series that has also featured in-studio performances from Kelly Clarkson, LIFEHOUSE, Red Hot Chili Peppers, SWITCHFOOT, ALY & AJ and Daniel Powter. <>< BEBO NORMAN suffered a broken leg during an “intense” game of Wiffle ball during the First Annual Memorial Day
Invitational in Nashville recently. Doctors have told the singer to take it easy for the next couple of weeks but have given him the “green light” for all of his summer concert dates and extensive fall tour in support of Norman’s new album, Between the Dreaming and the Coming True, set to be released September 19th. <>< OUT OF EDEN has officially called it quits after a very successful 13-year run as one of Christian music’s top urban-pop singing groups. Sisters Lisa Kimmey, Andrea Baca and Danielle Kimmey will release a twelve-song greatest hits package, Out of Eden - The Hits, on August 1st. <><
