In Case You Missed It - News and Tidbits - August 30

I've spent most of this week at Silver Dollar City's Southern Gospel Picnic as most of you already know. This has been a busy week for me, but also in the way of Southern Gospel news. Here are news and tidbits from this week -

• Jim Brady announced his resignation from the Booth Brothers. He will stay with the group through the end of the year. He and his wife Melissa along with a third vocalist yet to be determined will start the Jim Brady Trio next year.
• Connie Hopper released a personal statement about being diagnosed with cancer after doctors found a small malignant mass during her annual mammogram. Doctors are very optimistic about her upcoming surgery on Sept. 2. Keep her and the Hoppers in your prayers.
• Tony Jarman has announced that he is leaving the Down East Boys. He has been tenor for the group since January 2011. He is leaving to pursue other ministry opportunities.
