Point of Grace CD and Cookbook Giveaway

May6

Are you ready for the start of our BIG MOTHER’S DAY EXTRAVAGANZA?
All day long, free giveaways will be happening here which you will NOT want to miss.
Check back throughout the day with those fingers ready to enter…a lot! I’m just getting warmed up.

For years and years, I have been a Point of Grace fan.

In fact, as a female vocalist myself, I have sung a TON of their music. I had the privilege of singing back up for them last year during their Christmas Concert.  Well, ok, I sang with the whole rest of our church’s praise choir, but it was still back up….yes, we were backed up very, very far. icon smile Point of Grace CD and Cookbook Giveaway

So, I am excited to give one reader both their newest CD, which I haven’t even heard yet, but you know it’s got to be great when their hit song is titled Love and Laundry, as well as their cookbook (and one can never have too many of those.)
