Looking forward to Christmas concerts!

I'm really looking forward to seeing some of you this Christmas season at concerts.  If you should want me to come for a concert before the end of this year (2011), please contact me as soon as possible.  Blessings on all of you!

Where in the world is KATHY?

This is a self-"portrait" (!) in the Memphis airport.  An older couple came along & had pity on me...the little guy took a different photo for me.

C.H. & Suzie Hutchison met me at the Nashville airport when I got in @ 10A.  We ate a delicious morning meal at IHOP...Suzie & I, that is.  C.H.'s order was taken by a different waiter & served to a different customer.  So...to hold body & soul together, after we'd run by the church for me to get the "feel" of the piano, we stopped @ Walmart for some things & C.H. got a McD's "ham-burjer".  Just a little craziness along the way!

When I checked out @ Walmart, I asked the cashier if she attended a church in this area.  She said she did.  I told her I'd wanted to invite her to come hear me play tomorrow morning at the First Church of the Nazarene here in Columbia, TN.  She said, "Do you mean you're a concert pianist?"  "Yes," I replied, "I am."  She grabbed some small envelope there by the cash register & handed it to me with a pen for my autograph!  "That's so I can tell people I actually met a concert pianist here at work!"  She said she might come anyway.  Nothin' like bein' a nobody-"celebrity"!  I'm thinking I'm going to have alot of laughs along this Christmas Concert Tour trail before I get back home on Dec. 23!

Thanks for praying for me.  I really need the Lord to give me rest & strength tonight, so I can play the way He wants me to in the morning.

Phoenix & More Venues!

After helping care for a friend in the hospital the last couple nights, I've been right back at working on the Christmas 2010 Tour schedule tonight.  I'm excited at some of the possibilities that have popped up just in the past few days--some of them from you who follow me & my ministry on Facebook.  If you haven't already, take time to look through the info on those pages.  (See the FB link on this blog.)


I'm thrilled to finalize plans tonight to go to Phoenix, AZ in early November for a Sunday-to-Sunday revival at the church where the Chuck Boardmans pastor.  My brother, Bryan (the one just younger than me), will be the evangelist, and I've been invited to come as the song evangelist.  It's going to be wonderful to be with the Boardmans AND my brother!  Please begin now to help us pray for this revival...that God will be able to accomplish all He wants there!

Preliminary Christmas Tour Itinerary

Today has been busy, busy working on the Christmas 2010 Tour.  I do have some venues confirmed & will get concert info for each stop posted here & on Facebook in the next few days.  I'm finding myself getting into my own, little Christmas spirit...working this much on the tour!  A little Christmas all year long...nothin' wrong with that!

Here are the dates & cities I have so far:
COLUMBIA, TN --- Sunday AM, Nov. 28.
THOMASVILLE, NC --- Thursday PM, Dec. 2 (I'm excited re: the tea party on Friday!  Thank you, Roberta!)
SPARTANBURG, SC --- Sunday AM, Dec. 5.
EASLEY, SC --- Sunday PM, Dec. 5.
LEWISTON, ID --- Sunday PM, Dec. 19.

I'm already working on a late winter concert tour (Feb., maybe late Jan. & into Mar.??) in Florida.  My new friend, Esther Miller, is helping me immensely.  I already have a confirmed concert in her church in Summerfield, FL for Feb. 2, Wed. PM. 

SO...If you're interested in a concert in your locale, contact me right away.  I'll do my best to include you into my schedule.  It's not too early to ask me about dates even later in 2011.

It's a good thing I love to travel, huh?!!  Thank YOU, Lord!

Christmas Tour Itinerary

I've been working on my Christmas Tour itinerary the past 2 or 3 weeks.  Several churches have already confirmed concert dates, but a few are still getting back to me.  I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones this Christmas.  If you'd like for me to give a Christmas concert or an evening of sacred music at your church or event this year, notify me ASAP in order to get on my itinerary.  You can email or call me for further details and/or promotional materials.  Blessings on your Sunday!

New Recording -- New Blog!!

I am excited about being in contact with those of you who love my music.  You will now be able to follow my ministry here on Blogspot.com as well as Facebook.  The links to Facebook and other helpful sites will soon be listed here.


Last week, I finally got started on my newest recording, "Sunday Evening Praise", Vol. 3 of my "Remember the Sabbath" series.  Vol. I is called "Sunday Morning Worship", and Vol. 2 is "Christmas Hymns".  I'm loving getting into the recording groove again!  I'd appreciate prayer that God will anoint my playing while I record.  Music isn't just something to enjoy just on its own.  I firmly believe music is God's path to our souls!


If you wish to purchase my CDs, for the time being just email me, zinkkez@hotmail.com.  Please check out my Facebook Page as well:
      Personal FB/ Kathy Shields Zink
     Ministry FB/ Daystar Music Ministries.


Both this site, daystarmusicmin@blogspot.com, and the Facebook pages are good ways to communicate with me.  I can easily send you a current list of all my CDs.  Eventually, I plan to have comprehensive information about my ministry here as well as on Facebook.  I plan to publish music samples from each CD, Tour Dates and how to book an event.  Keep checking back until the information you wish to see is available.  If you have any suggestions for things to include on this blogspot, feel free to communicate that with me.


Lookin' forward to getting to know many of you much better as we share a common bond of music that comes directly from the Father's hand!


In Him,
Kathy
