I sang in the (erstwhile) Valley Church Men’s Quartet, aka “The Brethren” / “Alpha Tau Pi” from 1987 to around 1999 (it turned out that I was the only original member to go the whole distance…). We had some great ministry opportunities during those years, and God blessed us wonderfully.

I sing in a TTBB church quartet. About six years now. Sang in a quartet at Asbury College and Central Michigan University. We have been sing a lot of Mosie Lister plus some tougher stuff like Wade in The Water, Soon and Very Soon, plus some Cathedrals and a couple of Gaither. Looking for Thanks to Calvary or anything else . Do you have anything? I usually pay for it all. No budget, just a lot of fun and fellowship. Don Morris, Lapeer, Michigan
