This years event was a very special one indeed...we were blessed to have to have the
founder of "The American Christian Music Association" Troy Cupp along with His lovely wife Barbara and their adorable family The Cupps. However because of their very hectic schedule they attended as guests and did not sing. Brother Troy helped with the ceremonial
handing out of The Artist Awards this year as honorary and founding member of The A.C.M.A. and spoke as
though he was very pleased with our accomplishments thus far, and commended us on our labor of love for
the Lord. The American Christian Music Association was started by founding members Troy Cupp,and Ray Bryant
back in 1998 and has since grown into a national effort to accomplish the purposes for which it was formed. It
was truly a wonderful time of fellowship for the many friends, family, and fans of Gospel Music and the
various Artists of "The A.C.M.A." during our fan-fare (meet and greet) product tables were flowing
over with love as folks were introduced to the ministries representing The A.C.M.A. the commencment (the awards ceremony began 12:15) and what a blessed time of joy and tears as the Artists recieved their prestigious awards...The

Chernoff, a native of Grand Forks is visiting here from his home in Nashville, Tenn. He will be singing at St. John’s
United Church on Sunday, Sept. 19, during the morning service beginning at 11 a.m. His newest recording, Circle of Grace
hit Number 1 in the U.K. this last April. The song is causing a stir with DJ's in the United States, U.K., Canada and world-wide
via New Christian Music (NCM) in England. Presently, Chernoff is shooting a music video here in Grand Forks, with a Vancouver
production company. Chernoff 's career has been impressive. Music has always been a big part of his life.
As a youngster he sang locally in a Doukhobor choir. At age 14 he received his first instrument, a guitar, and started writing
his own songs. It was while he was clowning the rodeo in John Day, Ore., that Billy entered a talent show and placed second.
This encouraged and inspired him to follow his passion, country and gospel music. He headed to Toronto where he started
playing in clubs. He felt the pull of Music City, USA, and moved to Nashville, Tenn. to record for RCA Victor, the top label
of the era, where he joined with his hero Chet Atkins. Billy has become a highly successful country and gospel
artist in Canada, the United States and the U.K. He has been the recipient of two "Certificates of Honour"
and has recorded five albums. We are proud of Billy, our home-grown talent and invite everybody to come and
enjoy his music on Sunday, Sept. 19. You can learn all about him by visiting his website at www.billychernoff.com Time: November 12, 2010 at 12pm to November 13, 2010 at 6pm Time: September 25, 2010 from 12pm to 6pm A Benefit for The Waynesburg Fire Department will take

are out of key or overpowering the rest, the music is unpleasant and annoying to many. ORCHESTRATION:

above, we would love to have you send your music to us! Send your music to: Daniel Graves 900 Sennybridge Dr Yukon, OK 73099 in
