Event 4:
Trish and Wendy went to Cornerstone Church in Statesville to set up a table with Southbound. It was an amazing benefit concert for Western North Carolina. They raised $15,500 ! There were several Joy FM fans and pictures with the group.
Event 5:
Almost 1100 people filled up this event eagerly anticipating The Collingsworth Christmas Tour and they did not disappoint. If you weren’t in the Christmas spirit, this event would have catapulted you right into the thick of it.
experiences
Brendan went out and about in the community, distributing the station’s devotional books to local coffee shops. The first one was Books and Brew in East Bend. The owner was a good friend of our beloved Wanda Taylor.
Brendan’s next stop was in “The Cove” at Creations Coffee to drop off devotionals. They have super friendly staff and one of the baristas looked familiar (Brendan’s wife!). They love coffee but love Jesus even more!

From Wendy: “One listener called in on one of John’s onair requests about “Pets in Clothes” and her comment was she loves the inspirational music and conversations and plus she sent us pictures of her dog in clothes.”
