2012 March Ministry

The Sonshine Singers' Music Ministry, "Be Still and Know that He Is God" will be presented Friday, March 9th, 7:00 pm and Saturday, March 10th, 2:00 pm, at Decker Auditorium, Iowa Central Community College, One Triton Circle, Fort Dodge, Iowa. In addition to the Fort Dodge contingent, this group, representing approximately 45 area churches, travels from Alta, Ankeny, Barnum, Duncombe, Gilmore City, Gowrie, Grimes, Hartley, Humboldt, Johnston, Manson, Moorland, Otho, Palmer, Perry, Pomeroy, Radcliffe, Spencer, Storm Lake, Waterloo, and Webster City to be a part of this Ministry.

This will be our 13th Music Ministry and again the group will be singing all types of anthems from "heartfelt" (Midnight Cry, I Will Rise, Via Dolorosa) to "toe-tappin'" gospel (Shut de Do, Gonna Sit Down and Rest Awhile, A Foolish Man) just to name a few. We are very pleased to announce that Jive for Five, the very talented brass group that has played for us in the past, will accompany many of our anthems at this year's event and also will be featured prior to and at the conclusion of our singing. An additional treat in this year's ministry is the Sonshine Kids Choir...a combined elementary choir from St. Edmonds and Community Christian Schools directed by Susan Helling and Kristi Ellis respectively. Also, you won't want to miss another addition to the Sonshine ministry---the Trinity Rappers—get ready to laugh and enjoy their powerful message...rap-style!!

Beginning her 13th year with Sonshine Singers, we feel extremely blessed to have Sue Feltman returning as our pianist!! Additional gifts that God placed in our lives are Craig Johnson and Kevin Thompson, percussion; Steve Kelleher, bass/guitar; Dee Murman, flute; and a string ensemble with Laura Franks, Lori Marty, Robert Secor, and Paula Ravn. And last but definitely and most assuredly not least, are the very dedicated and wonderfully talented Sonshine vocalists who give of their time and God given gifts.....all to His Glory!

God sent us a Savior, His only Son, Jesus Christ to bring us the promise of eternal life! Please come and join us for this very special celebration as we sing the wonderful story of Christ's birth, His life and teachings, and His glorious resurrection! Rain, Shine, Sleet or Hail----you won't want to miss this awesome event!!

Blessings to each of you this day,

Armona Redenius
Director, Sonshine Singers

Who Are The Sonshine Singers

This year's group of vocalists represents approximately 40 churches in the area. We are very blessed to have a board consisting of 15 very dedicated people who head up various committees that allow this organization to flow so effectively. The members as a whole also contribute many hours volunteering in any area they are needed. Additionally, we have within the organization an assistant director, an assistant accompanist, percussionists, and various instrumentalists.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to providing, through contemporary sacred anthems, a "music ministry" revealing the power of God's love and grace so freely given to us all. We thank Him for the opportunity to share our blessings through the talents He has given us and we dedicate our singing to His honor and glory!!
