"Peacemaker" CD Release

The Lee University Singers are announcing the release of their 32nd recording project, Peacemaker. This CD features songs arranged specially for the choir including the title track, Peacemaker. Other songs on the CD include classic hymns like Doxology, Praise to the Lord, and Great Is Thy Faithfulness and more contemporary songs like I Feel a Stirring by artist Geron Davis, How Deep the Father’s Love and We Have Overcome by writer Steven Carey. This recording is Dr. Moffett’s first produced CD with the Lee Singers since he became director in the fall of 2006 and it truly reflects the attitude of authentic worship held by the group. For information about ordering this CD, please contact Dr. Brad Moffett at bmoffett@leeuniversity.edu or by phone at 423-614-8252.

Off To Germany

The Lee University Singers have the opportunity to go on a mission based cross-cultural trip to Germany this May. We will be traveling to several cities including Frankfurt, Wurzburg, Heidelberg, Stuttgart, and Hoenfels Graff where they we will minister on a US Military Base. In the final few days of the trip, we will be able to interact more closely with the German culture by exploring the city of Munich, several historical sites, and even travel into neighboring countries on day trips. This experience gives us the opportunity to minister in a different culture and spread Christ’s love to people who may not hear it otherwise. While we are still working with a travel agent to finalize the details of this trip, an itinerary for the trip will be posted in a few weeks.

Lee University requires that all students complete a cross-cultural trip as credit for graduation. The university believes that experiencing another culture enhances a student’s understanding of the world we live in and gives the opportunity to carry the gospel into other countries. For many of the Lee Singers, this trip will also fulfill that requirement for graduation.

Each member of the choir will have to raise approximately $2000.00 by the beginning of March in order to participate in this endeavor. If you would like to help make this trip possible for the Lee Singers, please contact Dr. Brad Moffett at (423) 614- 8252.

Why "off the risers"?

The Lee Singers is a choir from Lee University located in Cleveland, Tennessee. The group has been singing in churches and various venues for over 45 years. The purpose of the choir is ministry, but is also used as a recruitment tool for the university. The director, Dr. Brad Moffett, is the fourth permanent director of the choir and is closing his third year with the Lee Singers. The choir sings a very diverse range of music from sacred hymns to contemporary worship songs.

This blog is created to keep donors and alumni updated on the events going on in the Lee Singers, as well as our up coming tours and performances. The blog will be maintained by students in the Lee Singers, including occassional posts from the director, the President, and student director. The blog was named "off the risers" because it will keep track of whats going on in the choir when we're not singing, performing or on the risers. It's meant to be a light-hearted forum for updates on our excursions. We hope you enjoy reading and that the God blesses you as He has us.
