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

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….

If you'd like to be a friend with us on Facebook, go to www.facebook.com/susiemcentire

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

God bless you and "come see us"!

I stand in awe of God this morning...

Hi Everybody…


I stand in awe of God this morning. Even in the Oklahoma storms last night, I know that He showed Himself mighty in many peoples' lives. We lift up those who lost friends, family, and property in prayer this morning.

Mark and I just returned from our weekend in East Texas…by the way, it's THE MOST BEAUTIFUL place in the world, besides out our back door. To all of you who hosted us, fixed meals, set up chairs, made hotel reservations, sold cds, sang, spoke, swept the porch, made coffee, pulled tv cables, or simply just sat in the crowd and looked awesome…..THANK YOU!!! We taped for Cowboy Church and these shows should look really good. We enjoyed meeting you and hope to come back soon!!

I am "at this moment" at the beauty shop getting a "detail". It's sorely needed…just ask Mark! We are doing a photo shoot for "Faith and Fitness" magazine soon and need to "up our game" here. Tonight we host the Fellowship at Limestone Gap (held at our home this week only,) and leave for Poplar Bluff, Missouri on Friday for a concert at Thousand Hills Cowboy Church. On Saturday night we'll be at 15th Cattleman's Restaurant in Green Forest, 304 Main St. To sing for a "dinner show" is just down home "singing for your supper". Sunday morning, we'll be at the Green Forest Cowboy Church held at the Sale Barn, 304 Main St., Green Forest, AR. I am so looking forward to this weekend!!! Hope you can join us..we'll have a great time.

It will be good to be back in the great NW soon! I'm sure Mark's heart is longing to see our home there, the beautiful scenery, his mom, and his (my new) friends.

During the storm last night, we sat with Samuel and watched home videos…it was fun to see the kids at 5, 8, and 11, and this video showed when Samuel broke his leg at age 5. How fast time flies! My kids went through much of the same turmoil in their lives as I did, and I see them growing up and going on with their lives. I am truly proud of the decisions we've made in our lives to go on with what God has for us. He is a God of amazingly huge/vast grace.

Thank you for your support financially to help us do what Mark and I are doing. At ages 52 and 53, we are on the verge of something really neat that God is doing in our lives together. We are excited about what's in store for us.

God bless you!
Susie & Mark
