Gospel Music News-Rev. Timothy Wright, JoyFest

1. The sons of Rev. Timothy Wright held a press conference in the wake of the head-on crash that left their father in critical condition and which took the life of their mother, Betty Wright, and 14 year-old D.J. Wright.
2. The JoyFest fifth annual Gospel-music festival will be held beginning Thursday, July 10th, in downtown Canton’s Kresge Block. It will still be held in spite of the car crash that left Rev. Timothy Wright injured and that killed his wife and grandson. Wright was scheduled to perform, but the festival will have a tribute to the Wrights on Sunday with a community choir performing his music.~JoyFest

3. Bishop Charles Craig, the GMWA Vice Chair of the Security, Nurses and Ushers, passed of a massive heart attack at a Detroit Hospital. Bishop Craig performed with his brother Linsey Craig as the Craig Brothers. Please pray for peace and comfort for his family. Services will be held Friday & Saturday, July 11-12th in Detroit.~GMWA Detroit

4. According to Nola.com , the inside of Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church in New Orleans, was damaged in a fire. The church is pastored by Bishop Paul S. Morton and his wife Debra Morton. "We’ll be back, bigger and better." said Debra Morton.
There is a lot going on in the Gospel music industry right now, and the world. We don’t always understand why things happen the way they do, but as Christians we know that God has a plan and that He has everything under control. We pray for peace and comfort for the families.
