Just a little support this weekend would send the new Episode #138 flying out into hyperspace!!  If you appreciate what we’re doing and want to help…just use the PAYPAL button on the left and help underwrite this ministry.  I’m counting on you…thanks!

The purpose of this classic Jesus music show is to keep the legacy of early CCM alive, introducing it to our younger audience and delighting the memories of our older audience.  Ultimately we hope that FULL CIRCLE will be a tool to encourage revival and reformation…as we experienced back in the days of the JESUS MOVEMENT.  We’re praying that you’re blessed by each episode and drawn closer to Him!!

Don’t forget to send in your requests this week.  Go to:  info@fullcirclejesusmusic.co

Hey everybody!  Great news!  We are to rejoice in all things even if we have only had a small breakthrough…there’s more on the way!  We’ve received some support for equipment upgrades and are now able to get the newest version of Pro Tools and MAC upgrades which will speed up production.  As more finances are given we’ll be producing more episodes of FULL CIRCLE and much more.  You are helping make it happen!

You may recall an earlier post to let you know that we need new equipment, processors and bandwidth at our internet side for the next season for our radio and podcast ministry.  Our hard drives are full and slow and sometimes don’t work…it’s time for an upgrade and a major spring cleaning.

We’re working as the Full Circle Media Group here at the JSR Studios in Nashville and are beginning to produce other pod casts and radio productions.  Our desire is to share ministry minded programs featuring today’s worship, contemplative prayer and reflective coaching and encouragement.  Things are stirred up and so we need to get ready for the space these programs will necessitate.  If you want to earmark a gift for the studio needs…please let us know and thanks!

I was thinking that it would be so much better to do a tribute to our special friends while they are still here on earth…maybe we could all just express thanks and appreciation more often with each other….nontheless, the tribute to the late Tom Howard is up.  There was so much more to this special man than a one hour tribute can began to cover…spend a few minutes with the Facebook group: In Memory of Tom Howard: Musician, Arranger and you’ll see what I mean.

Please continue to keep Dori and the Howard family in your prayers and support if you will.  To donate via Paypal: login-send funds tab-enter Dori’s email – dori@dorihoward.com-enter amount.  Thanks!

Speaking of contributions:  Thanks to the Hudsons from Redding, CA…we are on our way to getting the necessary funds together for upgrading the FULL CIRCLE/JSR studios.  Thanks!! We are looking to purchase more hard drive storage, internet bandwidth, an upgrade for PROTOOLS and hopefully a larger screen monitor as well as other items.  You may earmark a contribution if you’d like at PayPal…and thanks!!

Full Circle is now being heard in New Zealand on One Christian Radio 106.9 FM as well as on WTWT 90.5 FM, Russell, PA and on WRDJ 93.5 FM, Merritt Island, FL!!  We are looking for more radio affiliates…so keep that in prayer!

In school we learn about Reading, Writing & Arithmetic (sometimes known as the 3 R’s although this is grammatically incorrect ) On Episode #136 we’ll learn about 10 R’s.

You’ll hear from the likes of Mylon LeFevre and Michael Card along with Honeytree and Chuck Girard as well as some early rockers Servant and the Resurrection Band.  The songs will walk thru some of the early steps one should take on the journey of this Christian life.

Thanks so much for your help this month. Folks like Steven Weyhrich, Judy Gale, Greg Lord, James Tiedeman and William Myers made this Episode possible.

Remember, I’m asking everyone to request to become a member of the FULL CIRCLE JESUS MUSIC group on Facebook and bring at least one friend!  That way…you’ll get the updates faster!  You can also sign up for TWITTER so we can stay in touch!!

Our God is an awesome God and He knows our needs so I start by rejoicing in Him.  If you’ll let me I’d like to share our needs with you as well.  It is very simple…and not too big for God.

We need new equipment, processors and bandwidth at our internet side for the next season for our radio and podcast ministry.  I won’t bother you with all the details…but after three years our hard drives are full and slow and sometimes don’t work…it’s time for an upgrade and a major spring cleaning.

Maybe someone who listens to FULL CIRCLE is looking for a big need to give to…instead of just sponsoring a particular episode here and there.

Or, if you know of a foundation or grant that might be open to considering our ministry…let me know.  Or a company that would be open to endorsement or underwriting.

Please write me at info@fullcirclejesusmusic.com if you’d like more details and how you can help in this significant need.

Thanks!

The best Valentines gift anyone could receive from the Father…is the gift of His Son!  Episode #135 is all about “giving and thanking”…need I say more?  Also, I’ve thrown in a special song from the late Tom Howard at the end….Tom said it well!  I look forward to producing a Tom Howard Memorial Special…soon!

All I ask this week is that you find one person to go to FACEBOOK  and log in at Full Circle Jesus Music and then request to be a member of the FULL CIRCLE JESUS MUSIC group.  You can also send them to this website to download our shows.  We want more folks to enjoy Jesus Music like we do!

Time is short….let’s get the word out.  I need your help!

There were warm smiles, hugs and encouragement at the memorial in Nashville for Jesus music pioneer Tom Howard.  St Bartholomews was packed with family and many friends from the music community.  We heard passionate musical renderings from Rick Elias, Marty Goetz, Cindy Morgan, Brent Bourgeous, Gene Miller and Phil Keaggy…then afterwards in the reception hall…an impromptu concert with Keaggy, Stonehill, Hindalong, Bourgeois and others!

Amazing how the best in us all comes out in times like these as we consider eternity from the “view from the bridge.” Please keep Dori and the kids in your prayers during this time.

If you’d like to hear an interview with Tom and his song “One More Reason”…check out Episode #22 on the play list page.  Tom, we’re gonna miss you!

Every generation of Christians must face the dilemma of how to live in the tension between the possibility of Christ’s immediate return and the impossibility of predicting the moment. Many Christians unfortunately settle the problem by living as if Christ will not return. Meanwhile, others dabble in various fruitless but persistent schemes to “figure out” the time of Christ’s return.

While we may not know the hour or the day but we do know, as our first group reassures us, He is returning.

On this FULL CIRCLE Episode #134…we’ll share songs reflecting the mystery of the “parousia” from Jesus Music artists like the 2d Chapter of Acts, the Pat Terry Group, DeGarmo and Key, Farrell and Farrell and Randy Matthews, Mike Johnson and the late Danny Taylor.

Click on the playlist.  I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject…drop us a note!

As you can guess…there’s not a whole lot of classic Jesus music radio shows out there.  Thankfully some CCM stations will rotate a few “oldies”…but to take time to reflect on our history, interview some artists and play more selections than you can remember.  We’re are trying to fill a niche, I guess.

On this episode of FULL CIRCLE we continue to go through the second part of the alphabet all the way to the end (with a couple misses we just couldn’t find)  You’ll be reminded of great songs from Malcolm and Alwyn, Larry Norman, Bryan Duncan, Terry Talbot and many more.

Go to the PLAYLIST and give Episode #133 a listen and tell me what you think!
