“Prayer in the Twenty-First-Century Church: Communion with God”: a powerful manifestation that God is not shaken by lengthy complaints or cries about the treatment of the world to humanity. Instead, God is moved when the soul is sincere. “Prayer in the Twenty-First-Century Church: Communion with God” is the creation of published author Rev. Albert P. Curley Jr., a pastor and founder of Greater Faith Community Baptist Church who is committed to winning souls for Christ so that marriage is restored, families are renewed, and hope is revived. His passion is to minister to the misery of the masses.

Rev. Curley Jr. writes, “In his book, ‘Prayer in the Twenty-First-Century Church,’ Rev. Albert P. Curley Jr states that the reality of prayer helps us to fully understand that if the church of the twenty-first century is going to be efficient and effective, she must realize that both the implementation and activation of the discipline of prayer is crucial. Prayer is a reality because the Lord God is a reality.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Rev. Albert P. Curley Jr.’s new book is a masterful piece dedicated to those who are serious about enhancing their prayer life and getting better results in occluding the sudden attacks of the enemy. They will discover that prayer works, and it has a powerful influence on everyone.

With this purpose, Rev. Curley Jr. aims to deliver a powerful and life-changing message to the reader that prayer does not only provide a stronghold in times of conflict, but it also clears one’s vision to a new and brighter future.

We are blessed to have been a part of this amazing community for 30 years now. We want to be a place where people can develop an authentic relationship with God, as well as connect with others and serve their community.

TEMECULA, Calif. (PRWEB)
August 12, 2019

Sunridge Community Church, a non-denominational Christian church in Temecula, California, announced that this year, they are celebrating 30 years in ministry.

Sunridge was started in 1988 by six couples who had moved to the Temecula Valley with the dream of starting a church in the rapidly growing Valley. The church started as a Bible study in the home of a high school football coach, but soon grew too large for the home and began renting space in a local school. For the next 12 years, Sunridge continued to meet in that multi-purpose room for their Sunday services.

In 2003, Sunridge moved into the space the church still currently occupies—a renovated warehouse on Winchester Road in Temecula. Having a space of their own allowed the church to expand their ministry and outreach to the community. They now host Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), a bi-weekly group for mothers of young children, Grief Share, Divorce Care, and Survivors of Suicide Loss support groups. They also make their facilities available to the community for memorial services when a large space is needed. The church offers free counseling services, as well as mentoring programs. The church’s high school and middle school groups welcome teens from all over the valley at their mid-week meetings.

The church recently underwent a renovation of its multi-purpose room to be better equipped to accommodate large church and community events, and also modified one of their larger classrooms to better serve children and families with special needs. Also in the last several years, the church hired an ASL interpreter to include members of the deaf community in the main Sunday service, and has started a new group for senior adults and one for young adults in the Valley. The church partners with several community organizations, including Birth Choice, Prison Ministry, Community Mission of Hope, and the Brook, a ministry to the homeless community started by members of Sunridge.

Sunridge is also involved in ministry to those around the globe. They currently support missionaries serving throughout Asia, Africa, and Europe and have sent out teams for short-term missions projects to countries like Nepal, Romania, Cuba, and Mexico.

Britt Sipe, who has been the lead pastor at Sunridge since 2014, had this to say about Sunridge’s 30 years of ministry, “We are blessed to have been a part of this amazing community for 30 years now. As the Temecula Valley has continued to grow, we have grown along with it, addressing the spiritual, physical, and relational needs of those in the Valley. We want to be a place where people can develop an authentic relationship with God, as well as connect with others and serve their community.”

Sunridge Church welcomes anyone to attend their Sunday services, which are currently at 9:00 and 10:30 am, or any of the other events happening at their church. Sunridge Church is located at 42299 Winchester Road, Temecula, CA 92590. You can find out more about the church on their website: https://sunridgechurch.org/

“They always remembered … the night they made the teddy bear. So hold on to your bear when you need that big hug. You can cry into his fur, hold him tightly when scared, drag him through the mud or drop him in the dust and, just like Teddy, his smile never wavers and his love never dims.”

DALLAS (PRWEB)

The Legend of Theodore E. Bear, a heartwarming fiction book written by Annette L. Parkhurst, tells of the creation of the very first teddy bear and the inspiration for this iconic children’s toy. While the story is a riveting bedtime tale, its subtext conveys a deeper meaning regarding one’s God-given purpose. Regardless of our different origins and personalities, the Lord has a great plan for everyone, and it is up to us if and when we answer His call. Theodore fulfilled his God-given purpose to the best of his ability and obeyed God’s commands throughout his life. God expresses His pleasure in Teddy’s dedication and entrusts him with one more task. The story demonstrates how God provides the wisdom and the skills necessary to fulfill His purposes for those who follow the Lord. By God’s grace & wisdom, His children can participate in God’s plan and delight in His presence each day. Annette’s story was originally inspired by Proverbs 8:30-31 and paints a picture of the mutual delight between God and his creation.

“I am going to fashion a bear stuffed with huggable fluff,” God shares His plans with the protagonist after watching him fulfill his role as a protector and playmate of children, generation after generation. “I want him to have wise eyes to watch over babies and children, ears to listen to little ones’ secrets, and just enough ferociousness to growl away thunder and monsters in the middle of the night.”

Similar to how God created and entrusted the teddy bear with caring for His children and being their companion, each of us was given a purpose long before we were born. We may not know what it is we are meant to do at first, and while some actively avoid seeking God’s plan, or are hindered from His plan, others do keep seeking, ultimately finding what God has for them. As in the case of Theodore E. Bear, who cared for and protected the children of the forest all his life, we all have what it takes to be God’s instrument in spreading the Good News of His unconditional love.

The author wrote about God and Theodore E. Bear working together to create the first stuffed bear because the latter was too old to continue playing with children and needed to rest. “They always remembered with special joy the night they made the teddy bear. So hold on to your bear when you need that big hug. You can cry into his fur, hold him tightly when scared, drag him through the mud or drop him in the dust and, just like Teddy, his smile never wavers and his love never dims.”

20/20 Summer Fest logo

It’s not a conference. It’s not a seminar. There are no workshops. This is just straight ‘festival music ministry’ from Christian and Gospel Hip Hop artists from the United States and around the world.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
August 20, 2019

God’s House of Hip Hop Nominated for 11 The Spin Awards, 1 Steeple Awards, and 2 Kingdom Choice Awards

Multi-Platinum CHH Artist Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton aka Emcee N.I.C.E. and Chantal “Chanie G” Grayson Executive Produce CHH and Gospel Hip Hop Festival

Los Angeles will be the top vacation destination for Christian Hip Hop, Latin Christian Hip Hop and Gospel Hip Hop fans next summer as 75 of the genres’ favorite artists will convene for the first ever 20/20 Summer Fest scheduled for Fri., July 1 and Sat., July 18 at the Banc of California Stadium, 3939 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA.

Multi-Platinum Christian Hip Hop artist Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton aka Emcee N.I.C.E. and Chantal “Chanie G” Grayson, co-owners of the Stellar Award-Winning God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3 Radio) station powered by Dash that boasts 10 million monthly listeners, have finalized the deal with the Banc of California Stadium. Festival lineup announcements will begin in January 2020.

The news comes amid the August 20 one year anniversary of God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3 Radio). Emcee N.I.C.E. and Grayson debuted the station with 16 shows last year to rave reviews. The station made history in April, receiving the Stellar Awards’ first “ Gospel Hip Hop Station of the Year” recognition. The accolade also earned the distinction as Dash Radio’s first station to receive a major award. Dash Radio features more than 80 stations hosted by celebrities and influencers including Kylie Jenner, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Dave Navarro, Tyler The Creator among others.

The festival expected to attract 30,000 attendees is a must for Christian Hip Hop fans says Emcee N.I.C.E. “Faith, Love & Music! An experience for the spiritual heads rooted in faith, filled with love, that enjoy hip hop music,” he says. “It will be an environment where people can fellowship amongst like minded believers and turn up for the culture. It’s not a conference. It’s not a seminar. There are no workshops. This is just straight ‘festival music ministry’ from Christian and Gospel Hip Hop artists from the United States and around the world.”

20/20 Summer Fest marks the first Christian, Latin and Gospel Hip Hop festival of this scale. “As an artist myself, too many times there are Christian music festivals around the country that are meagerly inclusive of our culture where maybe one, two or three slots are available for a CHH or Gospel Hip Hop artist,” N.I.C.E. explains. Given the climate of the energy around the country and the success of CHH and GHH music in motion pictures, television shows, and gaming, N.I.C.E. feels it’s long been time for the world to come together with music that inspires and heals. “Music is a universal language that can aid in the healing process and through faith, love, and music, 20/20 Summer Fest will be one that reinforces your beliefs.”

This sentiment is also reflected in the festival 20/20 Summer Fest title, Grayson explains. “Without sounding cliche, 20/20 Summer Fest is the realization that through your faith perfect vision exists,” she says. “God’s plan for you is pure. I want our guests to be present and feel the essence of being alive and witness great hip hop with lyrics that serve as a compass for the lost and weary and or reassurance for those that are standing on solid ground.”

God’s House of Hip Hop has received a number of distinctions during its inaugural year. The station earned 11 The Spin Awards nominations in the following categories: Best New Station (God’s House of Hip Hop), Best Radio Show (RezNation), Best Radio Show (God’s Calamari and the God Squad), Internet Radio Host of the Year (Emcee N.I.C.E. and Rezurrection), Internet Radio Personality of the Year (Emcee N.I.C.E. and Rezurrection), Internet Radio Station of the Year (God’s House of Hip Hop), Radio Station of the Year (God’s House of Hip Hop) and Voice of the Year (Emcee N.I.C.E. and Rezurrection). The ground-breaking station was honored with a Steeple Awards nomination for Urban Inspirational Artist of the Year (Emcee N.I.C.E.) and two Kingdom Choice Awards nominations.

Coming from El Paso, TX, Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton p/k/a Emcee N.I.C.E. is the curator and co-owner of CHH (Christian Hip Hop) and Stellar Award-winning Gospel Hip Hop radio station God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3 Radio) powered by Dash, based out of Los Angeles, CA. He launched his music career as a Christian rapper, only to find that the genre was closed for progressive Gospel. Later, he forged a path as a secular artist and found much success working with the likes of Nas and Tupac (posthumously), on motion picture soundtracks, and as co-creator and co-star as Novelist in the 3D animated music series “Da Jammies,” formerly on Netflix, currently on KidGenius TV, Comcast/Xfinity XOD, Amazon Prime and ROKU. Returning to Gospel Hip Hop, Emcee N.I.C.E. released his debut CHH album “Praise” in 2017, achieving chart-topping success across multiple platforms, most notably on the Billboard charts.
