Partners in the Gospel Sunday 7 November 2010 at 7 pm Good News Christian Ministries invited all to a special evening with The Rev. Dr. Allen Churchill and The Rev. Donald Crisp, Partners in the Gospel, as they celebrated joining forces to present Good News in the Morning. The venue was St. Timothy's Presbyterian Church, 2400 Alta Vista Drive, Ottawa (thank you St. Timothy's). Poster. Allen spoke of the genesis and enduring power of Good News in the Morning for so many Ottawans, and increasing numbers of world-wide listeners, and the vision he received of Don as his potential partner. Don responded with his joy at having to chance to join the ministry and bring the Word via radio to our listeners. Special Music was sung and played by Ottawa music icon Rev. Ernie Cox and Vanessa London, and the Ottawa Christian Chorale. These artist delighted the audience with their contrasting styles and glorious voices. When all present joined together, with Ernie at the piano, in Great is thy Faithfulness we heard and saw how hymns can be performed to perfection (with three key changes). Afterwards we all joined for really good refreshments and a good opportunity to chat and reminisce (eg Ernie playing in Sneezy Waters' band in 1978). See more of Richard Bendall's pictures.

Don Crisp's first broadcast on GNITM
27 June 2010

The Rev. Donald Crisp delivered his first talk on Good News in the Morning today, introduced by Rev. Dr. Allen Churchill. The subject of his talk (heard all too rarely from pulpits these days) was "His blood, shed for you and me." Allen will be back next week, but Don will be sharing the considerable workload in future months. We on the board of Good News Christian Ministries (as it will shortly become) warmly welcome Rev. Donald Crisp, senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Smith's Falls.

10 year anniversary of Good News in the Morning
24 May 2009

On 7 March 1999 the first broadcast was made by Allen Churchill of a new program of words and music, bringing a Christian message of hope and encouragement to those who are looking for an intelligent, meaningful and spirited approach to faith and to life. On 24 May 2009, from 7 pm to 8:30 there was a special event at Dominion-Chalmers to mark 10 years of uninterruped weekly broadcasting - 520 times that Allen has faithfully constructed little gems of Christian wisdom and hope, which have inspired so many and continue to do so. This was a celebration by his listeners, the ACCM board of directors, and CFRA. Included in the musical content was Cathy Goddard, the Ottawa singer whom Allen features regularly on the show. Steve Madely and Jack Derouin spoke for CFRA. Rev. Doug Ward brought tribute to Allen. The Dominion-Chalmers Choir sang, and Alma Churchill spoke and sang. Deborah Gyapong spoke of his role in Christian communications in a secular world.

Improvement to the quality of the on-line version of Good News in the Morning

As from Sunday 19 August 2007, those who listen to Good News in the Morning on one of our Internet links will notice a significant improvement in the quality of the audio. CFRA is making the broadcasts available to our webmaster as an MP3 file, which he then streams as before. Not only does this bring fidelity to the music spots in the show, it provides them in stereo - which is not available to our AM listening audience.

A Festival of Faith
Friday 5 May 06, Westboro United Church, 450 Churchill Ave N, Ottawa

In celebration of what God is doing with this ministry, we held a spectacular evening of words and music - a Christian message of praise and thanksgiving. Copies of Dr. Churchill's new book, A Lively Hope - transcripts of 15 of his Good News in the Morning broadcasts - were available for purchase.
