Fall is certainly in the air...

Hi Everybody!
Fall is certainly in the air….it's only 83 degrees here in Oklahoma today and it is so nice!
Mark and I had a wonderful but busy 'with lots of miles' summer. We just got back from a two month trip and are ready to head to New York and New Jersey this weekend. www.susiemcentire.com for details.
Pamper Me registration is in full swing. We are not having the regular manicure/pedicure/hair festivities as we used to. I feel like my staff (Mary, Doris, Emily and Elise) needed a break this year from all the scheduling and coordinating of appointments. This may return to Pamper Me in the future, but for this year, please come to relax, listen, enjoy, laugh, re-new friendships, and meet ladies from all over the United States. Register at www.susiemcentire.com New location: Victory Life Church, south of Atoka, OK on Hwy 69.
Recording plans for our new cd are coming along nicely. I am "culling" down to 11 songs and it's a tussle sometimes! I've got some really great selections and I know you'll enjoy the cd. We appreciate your prayers and support. Many of you have responded to our request to financially support the recording…we really appreciate that. It will be done by Pamper Me…November 5.
Our thanks go out to Open Range Cowboy Church and Bar None Cowboy Church for hosting us this weekend. Full houses and enthusiastic crowds!! We sold out of cds during the ladies conference and met a wonderful speaker, Eddie Baiseri, who will be speaking for us at Pamper Me. Thanks to all who make our visits happen…we know it's a lot of work….but ain't it worth it?

You can go on www.facebook.com/susiemcentire and hear more news about us. Mark loves Facebook and is posting pics all over the place. He's busy!!
Speaking of…he's cowboying right now….yes, Mr. Seattle is out on the range and having a ball….just called me on his cell, but had to hang up 'cause a steer went into the bushes and he had to 'go after' him. Sure hope he doesn't lose that cell phone!!
Our Christmas concert season is filling up, but we still have a few dates available. Call 580 889 5219 if you'd like to have us come.
Also, we are in West Texas in October…email if you'd like to schedule a concert.
Cowboy Church at Limestone Gap tonight…hope to see you!
In Christ,
Susie & Mark

Hi Everybody!

We hope your summer is continuing to be fun and full of family/friends and all kinds of activities.
At this particular moment in time, we are on a plane enroute to Portland where we will travel to Antelope, OR for our annual Antelope Community Church concert at 4pm in the church yard. We always enjoy seeing our regular attendees and meeting new folks every year…we hope to have a GRAND REUNION one year and see just how many we can squeeze into the church yard and the neighbor's yard!

There was record attendance Sunday at the Cheyenne Frontier Days during cowboy church. The weather was absolutely perfect….Russ Weaver, Ted Wiese, and my awesome husband Mark did a great job speaking, and the Caballero family did a wonderful job leading us in worship in song. Thanks to those who help make this a success, and especially to the Frontier Days Media Committee for all their help and support. See you next year!

We had 3 cd winners at the service on Sunday….Lonnie Fiscus from Cheyenne, WY, Gene Dombrowski from Longmont, CO and Arnold Goodluck from Houck, AZ . Thanks for playing!!

Tuesday night, we were in front of a capacity crowd at the Soldiers of the Light church in Casper, WY. What a neat fellowship! If you are in the Casper area, they are a church for the people and you would be blessed to be involved. Thanks to Debbie and Jay, Jean, and Neal and Gail. We had a great time!

Registrations are coming in for Pamper Me. This is a huge blessing for us to be able to bring ladies to our hometown in order for them to experience our part of the world.

Many of you have asked how my kids' father, Paul Luchsinger is doing. Mark and I spoke briefly with him recently as he stopped off in Cheyenne, Wyoming to watch Samuel compete in the Calf Roping and Steer Roping events while on his way to Montana. When Mark asked about his health, he replied, "Great…great!". Good for him.

God bless you!
Susie and Mark

Just wanted to say Hi! and catch up with you.
Mark and I are enjoying Family Camp here at Cannon Beach Conference Center in Cannon Beach, OR, where lots of families are enjoying their own family vacation! Shane Womack is teaching, Judy Nelson, Lisa Reiff are doing praise and worship, Steve and Craig are doing the music and I am providing the "specials". :) It has been a wonderful week, with lots of new friends made and ones re-united.

I just read Reba's post on Facebook about my "bridge" using her fabulous luggage (available only in Dillard's Department stores). Facebook is an awesome way to stay in touch with family and friends…become a fan of mine and Reba's today!!

We will be in Carlton Sunday am and Lafayette on Sunday pm. We then go back to Everett, WA on Monday and hopefully see my daughter, Lucchese.
We fly to Denver, drive to Cheyenne, WY on Friday where we will be in concert at First Baptist Church Friday night, Sing the Anthem for Cheyenne Frontier Day's Saturday afternoon performance, fly to Colorado Saturday night for the CICA in Branson, CO, then back to Cheyenne Frontier Days for Cowboy Church in front of Grandstand B at 9am Sunday morning. The Caballero Family will sing, Russ Weaver will preach, Keenie Word will sing, and you can meet Mark! Oh…and I will sing as well. Thanks to all our volunteers who help make this wonderful church service happen!

Russ Weaver and I will host Cowboy Church at 6:30 pm (filmed for RFD-TV) with a BBQ afterwards, mutton busting for the kids, and more entertainment. Tickets are $10. For more information on the location visit http://woodguestranch.com/.
Even though there are some of you who DO support us, I have not been good at letting people know when we are in need of financial support for the work Mark and I do, but I will now. If you believe in what we are doing (ministering Grace and Redemption) we ask you to help support our work through monthly donations. Even though I have been busier these past 4 years since my separation/divorce, the money, due to higher costs of travelling, just doesn't go as far. I will adjust my fees in the year of 2011, but this is the first fee adjustment in probably 15 years. If you would like to support our work with a tax deductible donation, you can send your check Payable to SVCC to: Susie McEntire, LLC 406 W 10th St Atoka, OK 74525
Future Events: We will be going into the studio in September to record a new cd; Pamper Me Ladies Retreat is getting a whole big Facelift this year!!! Register Today!!
Have a great day/weekend!!!
God bless you,

Susie & Mark

Have a wonderful, patriotic, and safe 4th of July!!

Hi Everybody!

We got back about 2am from Omaha, NE, then went to sing at a long time family friend's funeral in my "school days" town of Kiowa, OK. It's amazing how generations of families parallel each other through the years…from my mama and daddy being friends with his parents, to now my son Samuel being friends with his grandson. A terrific circle of life!

Mark and I had a wonderful time in Council Bluffs & Centerville, IA and Elkhorn, NE! Thanks to our hosts the Gregory's, Ballanger's, and Spurgeon's...you guys are terrific!

The weather was great and the crowds friendly. We appreciate Sherwood Community Church, New Hope Ministries, and Grace Community Church (along with Elkhorn Days) for sponsoring our events.
What a storm we drove through last night just east of Oklahoma City. Mark hasn't experienced Oklahoma t-storms like this, and it was a great way to stay awake while driving!! Thanks to the Rain-X Mark had applied to the windshield…it helped a lot!!
We got many positive remarks about the two Cowboy Church episodes that Mark and I appeared on together. We are both very thankful for the opportunities to share our story and life. We also appreciate Cox Cable for adding RFD tv to their line up so that cable subscribers can catch Cowboy Church on Sunday afternoons. Thanks for your support.
For those of you here in our area of SE Oklahoma, we will be at our local Fellowship at Limestone Gap tomorrow night. We eat at 6:30 and have the service at 7:00 pm. Everyone is welcome.
We begin our summer tour on Sunday with a concert in Prague, OK, then to Cannon Beach, OR for a week long conference…then…….we will be in contact with you as we go this summer. Please view our itinerary on www.susiemcentire.com to know where we will be.
Our fall/winter schedule is filling up, but there are still dates available. If you would like to host a concert in your area and see a date that would work for you, please contact Mary at 580 889 5219 or info@susiemcentire.com .
God bless you all…have a wonderful, patriotic, and safe 4th of July!! Our love goes out to the Newberry family today.

Happy Summer!

Hi Everybody and Happy Summer!!!


Mark & I are sitting in the Starbucks in Shawnee, OK doing work and fixing to head to the airport in OKC….headed to Omaha, NE!

It's a wonderful world! Mark is meeting my friend Kat Gregory (the famous radio star Nashville Kat) and we will both meet her husband Bruce for the first time.

On Wednesday night, we will be at their home church, Sherwood Community Church in Council Bluffs, IA. Then we head over to Ottumwa, IA to hold a benefit concert for the Bridgeview Center on Friday night, and again, Mark meets more of my friends….Vicki Spurgeon and Linda Ballanger. I have been involved with Bridgeview for several years now and what a wonderful program they have!!! If you are in the area, I cordially invite you to come and enjoy the night.

On Sunday morning, we will be in Elkhorn, NE at the QC Farm Supply where we will hold Cowboy Church in conjunction with the Grace Community Lutheran Church.

If you haven't made plans for your 4th of July celebration, we will be in Prague, OK at the Prague Park at 6pm.

Check website for all the details. www.susiemcentire.com Hope to see you!

Our family just got back from vacation…33 of us in the Bahamas (a few complete with cowboy hats)…we had a great time. It's a great opportunity for the younger nieces/nephews/cousins and sisters/brothers/mother/daughter, etc./etc. to get to know one another better and re-new relationships. It's amazing when we get older and mature/enter new facets of our lives, that we can experience each other fresh and new. We had a ball.

Mark and I celebrated 6 months of married bliss on the 12th….I'm sure he wondered, "Now why in the world did I come to Oklahoma?" as he attacked a rattler on our porch last night (with a shovel) in the moonlight. We are deciding how to best run our business and be efficient with our tasks. We've decided that Mark will be handling the publicity/marketing/branding department, including writing this newsletter. He brags on me way toooo much, so I'll be proofing his letters….

Thank you for your financial support… we really appreciate your help.

God bless you and "come see us"!
