PoinT of Grace – a naTural evoluTion Whether you want to describe it as God’s plan, a perfect storm or simply fate, the natural evolution of the group’s country‐tinged sound and the expansion of its fan base into mainstream country is occurring exactly at a time when so many have grown increasingly hungry for music that offers hope and positivity during this period of uncertainty. Since forming at Ouachita Baptist University 19 years ago, Point of Grace has emerged as one of the biggest names in Christian music with their signature chill‐inducing harmonies, anthemic choruses and powerful lyrics that poignantly capture life’s simple yet vital messages. The two‐time Grammy nominees have sold more than 6.5 million albums and earned 24 consecutive No. 1 singles (27 total including radio staples “Steady On”, “The Great Divide” and “Circle of Friends”), a feat unmatched by any artist in any genre. They’ve won 10 prestigious Dove Awards, including Country Recorded Song of the Year in 2008 for “How You Live” and Country Recorded Song of the Year in 2009 for “I Wish.” While they are proud and extremely grateful for their impressive success and lasting careers, they are first and foremost simply three women who are trying to live their lives right, be good wives and raise their children the best they can. “We’re finding out that the majority of our fans are women who are dealing with the same things we are,” says Leigh. “We are three women with three voices united together to encourage other women, today in a time when everyone can use encouragement. The title track of their last album, How You Live, captured the attention of Warner Bros. Nashville, the sister label of Word Entertainment. “They heard the song and said, ‘We’d like to take this to country radio if it’s OK with you,’” says Shelley Breen. “We were actually hoping that would happen but didn’t think it would, after all, country music was what the women were gravitating to as they were maturing, just as many of their fans have.” “Country radio is open now to faith‐based music. The biggest song two years ago was Carrie Underwood’s ‘Jesus, Take the Wheel.’ You can’t get any more blatant than that. In a way, it’s good timing for us.” Adds Denise, “If what they say is true, 90 percent of the The Grace Galloway monument is one of the most popular stops on the Saints & Sinners country audience say they are believers and a lot of those same people listen to Christian music as well, so we already have a name Cemetery Tours. out there.” Encouraged by the acceptance shown at country radio, Point of Grace began working with some of Nashville’s top country music writers to create songs for their eighth studio album (and 14th album overall). No Changin’ Us was produced by the in‐demand Nathan Chapman, who recently took home Grammys for producing Taylor Swift’s Fearless, which won the prestigious What does a Civil War veteran, pancakes and a hit-and-run all Album of the Year and Country Album of the Year awards in 2010. What matters the most to Point of Grace is the message of God’s have in common? They are all part of the stories that will be love, and they continue their consistent career course of embracing songs that are unmistakably Christian. Indeed, there may even be told at the upcoming Fenton History Center’s “Saints & Sinners more songs like this, including “Come to Jesus” and “There’s Nothing Greater than Grace,” than on their previous project.

younG and old ToGeTher It was a fun day for all when the 4-year old students from Zion Covenant Preschool, and the clients from Comfort Today Adult Day Care spent some time together! Cheryl Evan, Director of Comfort Today, states “it seemed a natural connection to make for both groups, as we are located nearly side by side on Fairmount Avenue.” For the second year in a row, Comfort Today has teamed up with the Zion Covenant Preschool to create an enriching program for both the young and the old. Twice a month, clients of Comfort Today join the preschool students in a time of sharing. Heather Barber, preschool teacher, planned some engaging activities that brought smiles to both the children and seniors as the two groups had their first visit this new school year. It didn’t take long to make new friends! Comfort Today is an active Adult Day Care Center that offers full and half day programs for seniors in our area. For more information, please call Cheryl Evan at 338-0500.
