The campaign to save HM

” . . . .I’ve done lots of soul searching and seeking the face of the Lord. I do not think it’s time to give up this publication or go all-digital. I’m in the thick of a fight and struggle to keep it going. But I need your help. This past year has seen a drastic dip in advertising sales, which is our major source of income (and we depend upon it to pay those large print bills). To keep the magazine printing, we went into debt. We found ways to cut our overhead and have done about everything we can think of to lower our operating costs. I think I’ve figured out a way to survive and actually grow again, but we need to get out from under this debt before it crushes us. Will you help?”

Fri., Oct. 30: Chynna Phillips returns with Christian pop duo Chynna & Vaughan

 

Chynna & Vaughan play Murfreesboro’s New Vision Baptist Church on October 30.

It’s been a little easier to keep up with the post-Wilson Phillips-heyday activities of band member Carnie Wilson, what with her various reality TV goings-on. But band mate Chynna Phillips is keeping plenty busy too, albeit on a very different career path. 

Phillips’ latest musical project, Christian pop duo Chynna & Vaughan, recently hooked up with locally based Christian music label Reunion Records for the release of their debut LP, One Reason.

That debut hit shelves in September, and the team — Phillips and co-voice Vaughan Penn — head to Middle Tennessee on Fri., Oct. 30 to share some of its songs.

They’re joining fellow contemporary Christian act NewSong on that band’s “Give Yourself Away Tour,” hitting New Vision Baptist Church (1750 N. Thompson Lane, Murfreesboro) on Friday. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are $10. For more information, call 615–895-7167; tickets can be purchased at New Vision Baptist.
