Greetings, we hope you had a great holiday season. It was really good for us to get a break and focus on our families and lives and now we're back playing again as we have for the past 14 years.

I just wanted to let you know that my wife Jackie is pregnant with twins and is due in March so please be praying for us.

We are still working on our new cd and hope to have it finished soon. We will keep you posted.

We have a new trombonist. His name is Mike, He's 15 and is a student at Village Christian school in Sun Valley.

The Israelites are in need of a Van. We do not feel however that we should be indebted to a bank for a loan so we are raising the money to buy one. If you would like to do- nate to this need please make all checks and money orders payable to The Israelites p.o. Box 9132 Whittier Ca 90608.
