Changes In The Group

Just wanted to let everyone know that with sadness, our bass player of many year, Mike "Catfish" Puett has decided to step down due to schooling and family time issues. We completely understand and wish Mike the very best in his future endeavors. Thanks Mike for all of your years of service to God and to the New Journey Quartet!

Our drummer Mike Shew has stepped up and filled the bass guitar slot and is doing it quite well! We really had no idea how good of an electric bass player he is until practice one night and all of us were left with our jaws hitting the floor! Thanks Mike for being so willing to step up to the plate whenever we need you...God will bless you for it!

A special thing has happened for Angie & I...our son Dillon has stepped into the role of full time drummer for New Journey and we are so proud! He's being playing a few songs on each set with us for several years, but the Lord really worked this one out for us...and what a blessing to have our son playing side by side with us...God is so good! And yes, all those years of drum lessons and loud banging at our house really did pay off! :)

New Journey is moving forward as we feel led by God's will for our lives. Time grows short and we must be busy spreading God's message of salvation & love through word and song. We look forward to seeing you at a concert soon..keep New Journey in our prayers and may God richly bless you!

Sincerely,

Bill Warren, New Journey Quartet

New Journey Qt. is off to a bang in 2010 with a live performance last night on the Niteline TV Show, Greenville, SC...an affiliate of the Trinity Broadcast Network. The show was great...wonderful christian speakers, testimony and more! Thanks goes to the Niteline crew for making our time with them a wonderful one as they always do! TV is such a wonderful medium and it gives our musical ministry the opportunity to touch millions all across North/South Carolina & Georgia.

God has great things in store for all of us in 2010...we want to be ready to answer his call in our lives. It is our hope to bring more people into his kindgom through the ministry of music. Maybe, we can get a chance to be with you somewhere on the concert trail this year..be sure to check out our concert calendar often at: www.newjourneyqt.com and come out when we're in your area...we'd love to meet you and worship together!

Merry Christmas!

We're not ashamed to wish you a Merry Christmas from all of us in the New Journey Qt! Christmas is that most wonderful time of year when we have the "Honor" of praising our Lord for what he has done for us!

Yes, everything else is nice, the trees, Santa and all of that, but the most important thing and the "Reason for the Season" is Jesus Christ. This same Jesus who is alive today came to Earth over 2000 years ago as a babe..and who later grew up to give his life for you and me that we might have "Eternal Life" by & through his shed blood! Because of his sacrifice, we now have the way to Heaven if we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior!

What better Christmas gift could we give someone than to lead them to Jesus this Christmas season...heaven's bells will be ringing and the angels will be rejoicing! Now thats the kind of Christmas carol I like to hear...

We wish each and everyone a safe, prosperous and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Yours in Christ,

Bill Warren

A Patriotic Bunch

Now there is a real "Patriotic" group of people if I must say so! Actually, this is a picture taken of the group while performing at an outdoor theater in Maggie Valley this summer and I forgot to post it!

The group had a great time while in Maggie Valley and loved the cool climate! Most importantly of all, the Lord touched hearts and thats what we treasure most!

Its been a fun summer, but even now in the evenings, I can tell fall is on its way...isn't it great how God made the seasons? He's an awesome God...I'm sure glad he's in control of things aren't you?

I hope before the year is thru, we will see you on the concert trail somewhere...keep checking our website concert calendar and come out when we're in your area...lets worship together!

In His Service,

Beautiful Day in The Mountains!

Needless to say, this picture of the chapel at Crossnore Children's Home, Crossnore-NC says it all! New Journey had a beautiful day singing in the Spruce Pine-Crossnore Area for an all day singing. We started out early this morning at First Freewill Baptist Church of Spruce Pine and even before we got started, you could just feel the Holy Spirit's presence in this place. Pastor Ralph and congregation were very lively and we played, sang & preached for nearly two hours...it was great! Then to top it all off, they fed us the biggest bunch of homemade cooking(it was their homecoming) and let me tell you, these people can really cook fried chicken and chicken and dumplins...it was awesome!

When we got done there, we took a short drive over the mountain to perform at the most beautiful church that featured Frescoe Painting at the Crossnore Children's Home. These children were lively and excited and it got us old timers fired up as well! What a great day the Lord blessed us with! Keep praying for us, the Lord continues to open new doors in different venues for our group...its an exciting time!

'Til Next Time...May God Bless,

The New Journey Quartet & Chicken and Dumplings

We had a great time at Bethel Baptist Church of Marion, NC today! Rev. Jimmy Upton and his congregation really treated us nice and the Lord of course was there during our concert and Brother Jim's preaching!

If you're ever in the Marion, NC area, let me say, stop by Bethel Baptist for a service! What an awesome church and man can these people cook!

I've never seen our bunch eat so much and I learned today that there must be a hundred different ways to fix chicken (our fav)! Mike "Catfish" Puett almost killed himself eating chicken 'n' dumplings....now thats the way to go isn't it? My wife and the rest of the band did our fair amount of damage to the dumplin' section as well....gee, kinda makes you think that there will be a dumplin section at the great banquet in heaven one day!

I hope everyone is planning for a great summer...we in New Journey Quartet certainly are and we're busier than ever! The Lord just keeps sending people our way for bookings are we're certainly grateful to be used for "HIM"!

'Til next time,

The Lord Does It Again!

Just got in from a concert today at Sweetwater Baptist Church of Hickory, NC. Pastor Ronald Johnson and the congregation were so nice to all of us in New Journey Qt. and as always, thanks go to them for having us back.

The big news about today is that the devil lost another one when a young lady came to the altar during our invitation and gave her heart and life to the Lord and got saved!!! Nothing thrills our heart more than to see someone saved during one of our concerts...hey, thats what we do it for!

I ask you to be in prayer for this young lady as she begins her Christian walk and that the Lord will always lead her. I also ask for your continued prayers for our ministry as the summer season is heating up and it looks like a full season of concerts....we'd love to see you at one!

Thats all for now....may God richly bless you and your family!

New Journey Thanks Danny Caulder Productions

The New Journey Quartet was blessed to recently be introduced and get to work with Danny Caulder of Danny Caulder Productions, a booking and promotional agent for southern gospel/country gospel music. Danny invited us to his home church in Mullins, SC to perform a concert recently and what a great time we had! Danny and all the fine people at his church treated us like old friends and fed us like "Kings".

Danny has invited us to come on board with him and to work with him in doing concerts in South Carolina as well as the southeast and we look forward to going through this new door that God has happened for our group.

This weekend, Danny has us traveling to Florence, SC to Hillside Freewill Baptist Church for a morning concert and we're looking forward to it! Please pray for God to protect us on this trip and that many souls can be saved and blessed. Again, thanks Danny for being such a good friend and helper in the ministry of the New Journey Quartet!
