			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I would like to ask if anyone has an encouraging experience that you have had with Ms. Sandi Patty to please send it to me. It can be anything from a favorite song that Sandi has sung to how her life has influenced yours. I will be picking some of them and reading them at this year’s Festival.</p>
<p>You can click on the &#8220;Contact Us&#8221; tab at the top of the page and then give us your comment.</p>
<p>The Festival is held every year at 807 Skinner Creek Road, Port Allegany, Pa.</p>
<p>Thanks and Be Blessed<br />
Jerry J. Goochee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I have had many great blessings in the last three weeks. I have been able to talk to 16 Pastors from different churches about this year&#8217;s fourth annual Festival of Choirs USA. I was able to share and answer questions about the Festival and its history. The meetings have been one on one with the Leaders and have been extremely encouraging to me. I have also passed out over 300 flyers to be distributed. More flyers are being made. Please contact me if you want some flyers.</p>
<p>I wanted to give a huge thank you to Jane Smith and Adah Meacham for helping me in getting the meetings with the Pastors.</p>
<p>We are also going to have the ladies of Simple Faith and the Barr family sharing at this year’s Festival.</p>
<p>Had a great conversation with one of the ladies and her husband from Simple Faith.</p>
<p>I met with Mr. Barr and his sons. I was told that one of their sons played the drums and the other one played the guitar. By their handshakes I could definitely tell which one did what. What fine young men they are.</p>
<p>This is definitely going to be a Great Festival with Sandi Patty coming and everything else that God is orchestrating.</p>
<p>The Festival will be August 18th and 19th this year. The registration time period is June 1st to August 1st. You can learn more about the Festival by going to:   www.festivalofchoirsusa.com</p>
<p>Registration forms and more are on the Festival&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>Have a Great Day and Be Blessed,</p>
<p>Jerry J. Goochee</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a large tent canopy above a platform and about 200 folding chairs. It recalled the old-fashioned tent revivals of centuries past.</p>
<p>As we sang with all our heart, the music spoke to me, a language that words can never speak; and as we sang, the words spoke to my soul in a way that they rarely do. We sang like a single voice.</p>
<p>I know why people give up so much of their free time to sing in the choir. I must say, that we sing together as one person, one body, one instrument. And sometimes when we’re singing together, we get just a glimpse of the very face of God.</p>
