Changing a Generation presents...

Obviously I need 30 hours in a day to make it all happen these days. Think I can propose some legislation to stretch it out?? Okay...maybe not. Just a thought.

I haven't much time to write to you these days. I am busy working for the church, ya'll. So that's a good thing. It's a great thing, actually. No one said working for the Lord is easy...but it is gratifying as long as it is acceptable in His eyes. I am right where I need to be.

If you are in the A in April and want to come check out the play and the concert, I promise you won't be disappointed. In celebrating Resurrection season (Easter) we have some major award winners on deck and a powerful message that will change your thought process. The play is going to have a major effect on the youth and young adults. Receive a great message, get your praise on, and get that good worship in. I would love to have you there.

Talk to you real soon...I promise. Peace.

Changing a Generation is resurrecting lives through major stage production and concert

Decatur, GA-Get ready for the most anticipated and anointed production of 2009! After the overwhelming response from last year’s play, Changing a Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church, pastored by world renowned Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr., is bringing forth a two fold production that is sure to transform the lives of a generation! The play will open curtain Friday, April 10th at 7:30 p.m. and the concert will be held Saturday, April 25th at 6 p.m.

Truly empowered by the Holy Spirit, Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr. has served in the pulpit for over 35 years and is no stranger to proclaiming the Word of God through the vehicle of music. A compelling influence to the gospel industry and accomplished recording artist, Bishop Morton has won countless Stellars and award nominations for several musical projects such as Healing Hands, We Offer Christ, As For Me & My House, Crescent City Fire, Let it Rain and Still Standing.

The purpose of the play “Another Chapter: The Saints with Resurrection Power” and concert “Moving Forward with Resurrected Praise” is to breathe a new life of testimony into the Christian and re-kindle a desire to share the gospel. Changing a Generation also looks to create a spark in the unbeliever by sharing the love of Jesus Christ that will transform him into an empowering believer. The production is FREE OF CHARGE to the general public and will be performed at Changing a Generation Full Gospel Baptist Church located at 4185 Snapfinger Drive in Decatur, Georgia.

This production is being spiritually led under the direction of Elder Eugene C. Brown, Jr. who went from Military to Ministry to Music. A polished military 20 year career led Elder Brown to ministry traveling from one end of the world to the other. He has previously performed with gospel greats Byron Cage, William Murphy, and Vanessa Bell Armstrong to name a few. He is currently serving as the Director of the Ministry of Divine Arts & Worship at Changing a Generation and his powerful vocals can be heard on Billboard charting projects such as Stellar Award winning Embracing the Next Dimension of Worship CD singing "Better than Life." He also sings the cover “More of Thee” on the Dove-nominated Full Gospel Baptist Church Choir project, Cry Your Last Tear.

Elder Rod Lumpkin II is the music director for this awesome production and currently serves as the Minister of Worship and Praise for Changing a Generation.
