All-In-One Male Chorus and Haiti Relief

St. Louis/Illinois

All - In One Male Chorus

The All-In-one Male Chorus met on Monday January 25th and proposed a musical for Haiti relief. We asked for God's direction as we moved forward with this. As of 9:00am this morning God has not only showed up but He's showing out! We have gotten the support of the Jennings School District and they have provided us with the Jennings High School Auditorium which seats over 800 people, We have a date and time for the event, February 27, 2010 at 3:00pm. We are contacting the radio stations to began advertising the event and my job is to compose a letter which will be mailed to every church in the St. Louis area. We are soliciting participation from singing groups and choirs for this event, there will be a free will offering taken and ALL  proceeds will go the Haiti relief. We are asking that all checks be made out to the Jennings School District who will in turn insure the funds get to Haiti through the American Red Cross and other agencies. If your singers wish to participate they must let us know by Saturday February 20, 2010, we will not be able to add anyone after that date. Now I know that some of you have never heard of the All-In-One Male Chorus so it's my duty to tell you who we are.

Near the beginning of last year three friends were talking, and the discussion turned to men in the church, and how to get them more involved in worship. These men were; Rev. Robert Moody of Bethany New Life M.B. Church, Rev. John Hope of Faith M.B. Church, and Dea. Ray Nance of Mercy Seat M.B.Church. Rev. Moody proposed that each church commit their male chorus' to support each others men's day. This was agreed upon and the first service was set for March of 2008 for Bethany New Life. This service would be held at Faith M.B. Church and rehearsals were set at Faith because the musicians at Faith had agreed to play for each group. At the very first rehearsal we had about twenty men from the three churches and it was decided that we would all sing together with lead singers from each church, we adopted the name Three-In-One. By the time of the service we had grown to over forty men, there was standing room only for the service. At our first rehearsal after the first service we agreed that this fellowship was too blessed of God to restrict it to only three churches. We put the word out that we were inviting men of God from all over St. Louis and Illinois to join us, and our name was changed to All-In-One. We have had three services so far and God continues to bless, our number has grown to over fifty men and we are looking to more than double that number before the end of this year. We will be rehearsing for this service every Monday and Thursday night beginning Monday February 8, 2010 at 6:30pm at Faith M.B. Church 4738 Natural Bridge Ave. St. Louis, MO 63115. If you want to become a part of this ministry please come out, if you know of someone that might be interested give them the information. Any one that desires to lead a song needs to bring the music on a CD or tape and a copy of the words to the song.

Subject: Haiti needs our help
Good Afternoon Mr. Jefferson, Below you will find a e-mail I received from Dr. Randy Vaughn.  I don't have the phone numbers nor e-mail addresses to all the pastors in the Berean District so I need your help.  Dr. Vaughn along with our National President Dr. Scruggs, and our State President Dr. Jimmy Brown are calling on all the pastors that make up this Great Convention to come together and support the victims in Haiti.  A web-page have been established for their donations at "nationalbaptistconventionusa.com", they can make their contributions online or they can give them to Dr. Jimmy Brown or if they are going to the Winter Board Meeting they can take it with them.  Make all checks out to the National Baptist Convention USA, and in the memo section notate The State Of Missouri so they will know that Missouri did our part.  Thank you for your help.

Greetings,
Again, we find ourselves before news screens watching the devastation of the earthquake in Haiti. Our hearts and prayers go out to our Haitian brothers and sisters. I have been doing mission work in Haiti for the past 16 years with many contacts. AS of now I have no report of their well being. Please join me in praying for them.
NBC, USA has set up a web page giving direction of how to give. Our president, Dr. Scruggs, has set up these measures with our assistance and it is our hope that national baptist will respond as they will do.
As state coordinator, working with your state president, please notify the people of your respective state that they can go on line and make donations for this needed cause.\
Thank you

2010 Census Cautions

2010 Census to Begin



WARNING: 2010 Census Cautions from the Better Business Bureau

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers by Susan Johns

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S.Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data.



The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:



** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have a badge, a handheld device, a Census Bureau canvas bag, and a confidentiality notice.

Ask to see their identification and their badge before answering their questions. However, you should never invite anyone you don't know into your home.


** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information.

Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.

REMEMBER, NO MATTER WHAT THEY ASK, YOU REALLY ONLY NEED TO TELL THEM HOW MANY PEOPLE LIVE AT YOUR ADDRESS..



While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.

The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers, nor will employees solicit donations. Any one asking for that information is NOT with the Census Bureau.


AND REMEMBER, THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS DECIDED NOT TO WORK WITH ACORN ON GATHERING THIS INFORMATION. ..

No Acorn worker should approach you saying he/she is with the Census Bureau.



Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, the Census Bureau will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.



Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.



PLEASE SHARE THIS INFO WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
