Haul Out the Halloween ... Hallmark Channel ... 8pm *NEW

Haul Out the Halloween Storyline: New, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane.

*Please note: I don’t typically feature Halloween movies or programs here, but I know many will want to see this third film in the series. I’m hoping it focuses on the lighthearted, fun side of the holiday and steers clear of anything dark or unsettling.

I also wanted to briefly mention that "Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Buried at C" will be airing Sunday night on the Hallmark Channel. I personally won’t be watching this one, as one of the main characters is a ghost. I just wanted to note it here, in case anyone wonders why it wasn’t promoted.

From the Gospel Music Association:

The 41st annual GMA Dove Awards will be hosted by 2009’s Female Vocalist of the Year, Natalie Grant, and multiple Dove Award-winning group MercyMe’s frontman Bart Millard.

While the awards will be a highlight of the show, music performances will take center stage at this year’s GMA Dove Awards, showcasing some of gospel music’s top-selling and most diverse artists.


Artists scheduled to appear... include Casting Crowns, TobyMac, Natalie Grant, Donald Lawrence, Jason Crabb, MercyMe, and many more to be announced soon.

-----

I am, personally, so excited that they chose Natalie Grant to host. She is one of my favorite female Christian Artist... I love her songs - Held and Wonderful Life. She is so perky, fun, real, fashionable, kind, and sweet! I love to catch her whenever she's interviewed because she's like a breath of fresh air... so the show must be great!

When asked about hosting, Natalie Grant said... “Hosting the GMA Dove Awards is a real honor. I am, and have always been, a fan of Christian music and to help shine a brighter spotlight on the message of the music that's changing lives by honoring the artists who create it, will be a tremendous privilege. I love that it’s not a night of competition, but an evening of giving honor and celebrating one another. It's really more like a family gathering that I look forward to every year.“
