His Voice Communications

Speaking of Tongues

.

The last stop on the His Voice schedule for June 13, 2009, was at the West Covina Hills Adventist Church on Temple Way. The sundown vesper concert began at 7:30 PM in the center aisle as the men stood side by side singing "Holy, Holy, Holy."

.

Speaking of tongues ... following the first few songs, each singer shared what languages they spoke. It was remarkable to learn how many languages the group as a whole spoke, a sort of collage of the Gospel commission to "go into all the world and preach the Gospel...."as reflected in the Bible story portrayed in the stain glass windows surrounding the sanctuary.

.

Day was done, night had come. Director Mike Naluai lead the men in one more hymn. The thirteenth day of June was complete, a triangle of churches in Los Angeles County had been visited. New friends were made. It was time for the men of His Voice and their families to head home to a warm bed and a soft pillow. Perhaps their dreams would include a tune from the day, a face in the crowd, and a prayer for a friend.

Hacienda Hospitality

.
June 13 was a busy day for His Voice Men's Chorus as they sang for two worship services followed by a vespers program. The pictures above, taken by Nancy Troyer, are from the Hacienda Heights Chinese Seventh-day Adventist Church during their afternoon worship hour.

.

The stain glass window above echoes the hospitality His Voice experienced in Hacienda Heights. Pastor Paul Cho translated the service with a lot of laughter mixed in, especially when His Voice tenor, Bob Ferguson, surprised church members by speaking in the Chinese language.

.

Pastor Paul and his wife, Mei Mei are originally from Hong Kong and love ministering to their many Asian parishioners. The church family welcomed His Voice and their families and sent them off to their next concert in West Covina after an abundant Chinese fellowship meal.

His Old House

.

On the morning of Saturday, June 13, the men of His Voice and their families headed for their first concert of the day. What they found on 3rd Street was the Lord's old house, the oldest Protestant church in the Pomona Valley, first dedicated in 1882 with the sanctuary being dedicated in 1888. Later in 1935, two Methodist church families united and sold the church to the Seventh-day Adventists, who have owned the church for over seventy years.

.

The ancient cathedral, captured by photographers Ethel Ferguson and Sue Langford, show a unique and stately structure with colorful stain glass windows, golden organ pipes, and lofty spires. The men's voices rang rich and pure in this old house of God, echoing the faithfulness of God.

Circuit Riding Singers

POMONA ADVENTIST CHURCH
11 o'clock Church Worship Concert


HACIENDA HEIGHTS CHINESE ADVENTIST CHURCH
3:30 PM - Church Worship Concert

SOMETIMES, you'd think the men of His Voice were a part of the Old West's circuit riding preachers. They travel each month to a string of concert appointments set up by Karen, wife of His Voice tenor Rodney Knight. Of course, you won't catch these singers riding the dusty trail in their two-piece suits but they still burn up the road from early morning till after dark.
.

The pictures above show some of their concert destinations this Saturday. Other church photos will be featured in next week's blog.
.

By popular demand, Ethel, wife of His Voice tenor Bob Ferguson, has been recruited again to be His Voice photographer for the June concert day. If all goes well, Sue, wife of His Voice tenor Jim Langford, will join her capturing memories. Nancy, wife of His Voice baritone Don Troyer, is grateful for their willingness to help out as she will be making memories of her own with Don at their daughter's college graduation.

Singing His Love This Weekend

.
Concert Day, June 13, the men of His Voice will begin singing in Pomona, then travel on to Hacienda Heights, and finally end in West Covina for an evening concert. All the concerts will be at Adventist churches with the afternoon concert also being translated into the Chinese language.

.

Next on the calendar: His Voice is planning to set aside the month of July to begin recording a new inspirational CD, following "Written in Red," their first CD. Director Michael Naluai has been working Thursday nights with the men on a few new songs, "America the Beautiful" and "The Majesty and Glory of His Name" and these new songs, as well as the current concert songs, have strengthened everyone who listens or sings ... His love.

May Snapshots

The month of May is almost over and sweet memories still linger in the hearts of the men of His Voice as they recall special moments on their concert day, May 9, 2009.
.
In the morning, the Christian men's chorus journeyed to Moreno Valley Adventist Church for their 11 o'clock worship concert. Later in the afternoon, His Voice shared an hour-long concert with the grand men and women of The Emeritus at Loma Linda, a senior care center off Mountain View.

The photos featured here are the creative work of Ethel Ferguson, wife of His Voice Tenor Bob Ferguson. Ethel snapped over sixty pictures and these are just a few of the best.
