To all my Yuwie family and friends and supporters of “The Praise Party”: the big day is almost here! I cannot possibly thank all of you enough for your prayers, your support, and the genuine love that you have shown to me as we have been through a lot of laughter, tears, ups and downs, celebrations, heartbreaks this past year. But most of all, it’s about this God-man named Jesus that I’m so crazy in love with, and if I do nothing else with this program and this ministry, I want to make sure that EVERYONE knows that He’s the reason and the Purpose for the “Praise Party’s” existence; He is why we “rock the House, raise the roof, and lift up the Praise!”
Having said that first and foremost, let me let you all know what’s happening: First, “The Praise Party” will do a special three-hour broadcast on Wednesday night (June 3rd) in celebration of being on Yuwie Radio for one year. (Thanks to Okgah [Mike] and James [Talent Showcase Radio] for your special permission in making this happen!) In the first hour, I plan to honor ALL my original crew members, the ones primarily responsible for allowing me to come on the air with Yuwie Radio: James (Talent Showcase), PremiereJan, Kenny8262, Scottsman, and TomMack (The Gospel Mack Attack Radio Show). In the second hour, the longest-serving crew members and show mods will take their rightful place: Ocean, Duke-of-URL, King Yuwiie XIV, and Jan, as well as my niece JQ (jayelcee94), who will be co-hosting with me LIVE the entire night! (If you have been a crew member of the show in the past, be sure to be there during the second hour to receive your recognition and thanks!) Also, the blog that you chose as your favorite blog will be read at the bottom of the second hour in the “Word for the Widget’s” regular time slot. In the third hour, I want you make sure YOUR voice is clearly heard: if “The Praise Party” has blessed you in ANY way, I need for you to do one of two things: either leave a comment below this blog and I will read it on the air, or if YOU want to hear your voice over the air, go to http://clubs.yuwie.com/praiseparty and click on “Leave your prayer requests and praise reports HERE,” and leave me a voice message that will be played. I will also do a final message for the evening at the bottom of the third hour. Throughout the night, I will be doing Bible and “Praise Party” trivia throughout the night, where I will give away “Praise Party” prize packages, and FOR THIS ONE NIGHT ONLY, Yuwie referrals as well. (I will ask all prize package winners in advance to wait at least 4-6 weeks for their package to arrive, but my prayer is that I’ll be able to secure them sooner.) For the “Praise Party” trivia portion, here are some interesting facts about the show:
· “The Praise Party” made its official debut on Yuwie Radio June 4, 2008 in its regular time slot, 7:00 pm (Central), and has consistently been in the same time slot ever since.
· The original “Praise Party” show was only one hour long; it expanded to two hours the very next week.
· “The Praise Party” is Yuwie Radio’s 8th longest continual-running program.
· “The Praise Party” and its predecessor “The Gospel Mack Attack Radio Show” were the only two Christian/Gospel-related programs to occupy NowLive.com’s Top 10 List for the same day (Wednesdays), which they did for several weeks running. (Thank you, Yuwie Radio listeners!)
· “The Praise Party” is Ustream.tv’s most followed Christian/Gospel music broadcast, with 48 followers and over 23,000 hits since Yuwie Radio joined Ustream. (Thank you again, Yuwie Radio listeners!)
· The Saturday morning broadcast of “The Praise Party” began as a fill-in for “Kruisin’ with Kenny”.
· With the exception of Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, “The Praise Party” has not missed a Wednesday night broadcast since it first came on Yuwie Radio! (I apologize the same can’t be said for Saturday mornings…)
So there, you have it! Please help us make Wednesday night a truly special night for Yuwie Radio, for “The Praise Party”, and for Jesus Himself, because, after all, it’s truly “the place where Jesus Himself likes to hang out!” Come join us for the 1-Year Anniversary Show for “The Praise Party”, Wednesday June 3, 2009, 7:00 pm (CDT), or check your Yuwie Radio schedule for details! Until then you all CONTINUE TO BE BLESSED, AND CONTINUE TO BE A BLESSING!!!
Yours truly,
Pastor Ced
