Noise Complaints Prompt Church to Leave Ohio CityMASSILLON, Ohio - The pastor of a small Pentecostal church says he's so fed up with neighbors complaining about loud worship services that he's leaving town and taking his church with him.  During the annual revival at Worshippers of Christ the Warrior King in Massillon, Ohio, services with loud music go late into the night. After a revival service on May 3rd, police walked into the church and wrote senior pastor Troy Sowell a ticket for violating the city's noise ordinance.The Reverend Sowell says the controversy has caused his church to lose members. The 49-year-old pastor says he's also lost friends and ministry opportunities. Sowell says the church has held services elsewhere for the last several weeks. |

Melinda Watts Crowned Gospel Dream 2008 Winner Californian Melinda Watts Wins Gospel Music Channel's Gospel Dream 2008  ATLANTA, June 30 /Christian Newswire/ -- Melinda Watts, a 29-year-old leader of two foundations that help support troubled young girls and their families from Fair Oaks, California, was crowned the winner of the American Idol®-inspired talent search series Gospel Dream 2008 last night on the Gospel Music Channel television network.
Watts shared the stage of the Gospel Dream 2008 finals with Kymm Lowery of Beach Park, Ill. and John McKoy, Jr. of Monroe, N.C. in the dramatic season finale of GMC's American Idol®-inspired talent search series, with all three performers offering outstanding and uplifting performances. Yet it was Watts who receives the grand prizes of Gospel Dream 2008 - a record and music video deal and a Royal Caribbean Cruise - and the potential for a career that she has dreamed since she began singing at the age of six.
"Every ten years or so you have an anointed superstar artist who graces us with the word of God in song, as CeCe Winans and Yolanda Adams have done. Now we have Melinda Watts," said Alvin Williams, Senior Director of Music Development for the Gospel Music Channel.

Dallas Abortion Facilities Close after 18 Years of PrayerIn what pro-life advocates have described as nothing other than the miraculous work of God, a series of abortion clinics throughout Dallas have closed down after a prominent bishop began leading prayers for their closure 18 years ago. Since Bishop Charles Grahmann of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas first began leading his monthly prayer vigils outside the doors of abortion clinics over a decade ago, seven of the 13 abortion clinics in Dallas have closed, including, most recently, the only late term abortion clinic that deprived life to babies over 3 months old. Karen Garnett, executive director of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee, described the closure of the abortion clinics as the fruitful result of their nearly two decades of tears and prayers. “We thank God for the many lives that will be saved and mothers and fathers spared the agony and regret of abortion,” she said in a statement. "Not only is this a victory for the pro-life movement, for mothers and for babies, but it is a victory for Dallas as well, as the horrific practice of the killing of unborn children will take place at one less location in our city,” she added. |

Dallas-area food pantries feel pinch in faltering economyFor faith-based groups serving those in need, it seems that one bad thing is leading to another – and another, and another. Skyrocketing gasoline and food prices are putting a squeeze on low-income people, particularly the working poor. More and more are seeking help from churches and other faith-based charities. "The church is the first place that many people turn to when they're in trouble," said Jan Pruitt, chief executive officer for the North Texas Food Bank. Members of the congregations that donate to support food pantries and emergency assistance centers are feeling the pinch, too. In fact, nearly half of Christian adults have reduced their charitable donations in the faltering economy, according to a national survey done at the end of May for Dallas-based Dunham and Co., a Christian fundraising consultant. The price of gasoline (49 percent of respondents) and increased food prices (22 percent) were cited as primary reasons for cutting back on giving. People older than 55 – who tend to give more – were most affected by the downturn. |
