Sonrise Notes for June 16th....

 
...Did you know Father's Day was founded in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd?  It didn’t have much success for a few decades but it was finally made official holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

...Bart Millard released his first solo album called Hymned No. 1 in 2005.  Bart did a second one in 2007 called “Hymned Again” because he realized that the church he was attending didn’t sing hymns, so he made it so his children would have them be a part of their lives.

...We’re just 10 days away from the 35th Annual Creation Festival June 26-29 at Agape Farms in Mt. Union, PA.  Along with the regular tickets, they’ve offered some cool VIP Experience Packages, too like the birthday celebration package, where a surprise guest artist will lead the crowd from the main stage and have the audience sing you “Happy Birthday”!  Or the “Press for the Day” Package where you hang with the editorial staff of New Release Tuesday (www.newreleasetuesday.com) for the day, as they interview key artists for the largest Christian music site online. Creation Festival (www.creationfest.com/ne) will feature Newsboys, Crowder, Audio Adrenaline, Christy Nockels, For King and Country, Plumb, Chris Tomlin and several others.

Premier Christian Cruises (www.premier-experience.com) has announced the first Duck Commander Cruise for July of next year, so if you’re a Duck Dynasty fan, you can spend a few days on the high seas with the Robertson family.
