Common Ground Ministries is a singing and prison ministry based in Berlin, Ohio.  Our focus is the Ohio Corrections system which includes 32 state prison facilities and one Federal Correctional Institution.  In a typical year CGM will perform approximately 100 prison chapel services (in 50 prisons).
We also go to churches, camps, concerts, banquets,... wherever we are invited.  Our purpose is to present the gospel through song.

SEATTLE... ALASKA!

June 23 we head for Seattle, Washington where I will have two concerts; one in Monroe with pastor Mac Taylor and the other on Shaw Island off the coast of Washington with pastor Roman Miller.  We met Mac & Debbie Taylor in Costa Rica where they were missionaries for 20 years, and Roman Miller is married to Lydia's cousin, Kay.  Mac's concert is in a Covenant Church and Roman has arranged to have a community concert at the Shaw Island Community Center.

Then it's off to Alaska!  An eight day cruise to celebrate our 25th anniversary (four years late, but who's counting?).  We're looking forward to eight days of rest, beauty and input from Chuch Swindoll. 

ANOTHER ALASKA CRUISE!  IN JUNE 2010!  COME WITH US!

We are also going to Alaska in June, 2010!  On this cruise I will be performing along with a cast of great Christian singers and entertainers and speakers.  I don't have the details yet, but if you are interested in a cruise and seeing parts of the Last Frontier along with spiritual input, watch this spot.  As soon as I get the brochures and details I will post them here and in our newsletter.  By the time I get home from this trip, I will know a lot more about Alaska and cruises...
