In 2002, Gospel artist Lance Williams formed the True Worship Retreat to unite worshippers and to empower those called as worship leaders. Since its conception 10 years ago, the True Worship Retreat has been a perennial event for those serious about the ministry of gospel music. This year’s retreat goes down Thursday, September 6 thru Saturday, September 8, 2012. The True Worship Retreat 2012 theme is “Restoring the Divine Order of Worship,” and it will be held at Cathedral International, Perth Amboy, NJ. Special guests include Bishop Hezekiah Walker, Donald Lawrence, Rance Allen, Richard Smallwood, JJ Hairston, Twyse and Kierra Sheard.
Angel Taylor and Chanelle Haynes, collectively known as the award-winning Gospel duo Trin-i-tee 5:7, are no longer with Matthew Knowles’ Music World Gospel. Last week, Music World Gospel announced that the ladies were released from the label. Details of the split are still sketchy, if they requested to leave or if it was the label’s idea. However, Matthew Knowles has released a statement. He says, “Angel and Chanelle scored their first Grammy nomination as well as Grammy night worldwide TV performance with Music World. Their careers will always be linked to Music World. We will miss them and wish them the best of luck.” As for the ladies, they say, “We thank Music World and Mathew Knowles for everything they have done for us.” The split can be looked at as an end of a chapter or as a new beginning.
