1. There were several weddings that occurred this week in the Southern Gospel world. Congratulations to Madison Easter and Brooklyn Collingsworth on their respective marriages!

2. Bruce Taliaferro has resigned from the lead singer position for Gold City. There have been rumblings of this over the past week or so, but Daniel Mount broke the story this morning. The replacement will be named soon, presumably before January. Since a press release is forthcoming, I won’t name the replacement, but I will say this: he hasn’t been with a particularly well-known group yet, but he is a fantastic young singer that has deserved some recognition for a while. I, for one, I’m very excited to see and hear what he will bring to the table.
