Kingdom Heirs Welcome New Tenor 

April 14, 2023 - 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞π₯𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞:
The Kingdom Heirs are honored and excited to officially introduce you to a new face at the tenor position in our award winning quartet. As we move forward with our ministry and tenure at Dollywood, it's a priority to place the finest people on stage, not only from a talent perspective but also someone who has the necessary qualities off stage to build relationships and show Christian love to all who come to a Kingdom Heir show at Dollywood as well as our appearances outside the park.
We've had an overwhelming response from so many talented individuals and we appreciate each and everyone. We certainly encourage you all to pray about your journey and the opportunities God has in your future.
As for us, after continuous prayer and effective immediately, Joshua Horrell will join The Kingdom Heir family and step into the position as our new and exciting tenor.
Josh, a native of Wallace NC, is no stranger to gospel music and has had tenures with well known and established groups in the Southern Gospel Music industry.
We are excited to move forward as we begin another chapter in our ministry. We ask you join us in welcoming Josh to The Kingdom Heir family. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we will be releasing more exciting news in the upcoming weeks.
God Bless and we love you all.
The Kingdom Heirs,

"A huge thank you goes out to the Kingdom Heirs, but more importantly, to my heavenly father for allowing me this opportunity! When the guys reached out to me about auditioning for the tenor position and filling in, I immediately began to pray and ask God for direction. As I was traveling for work near home, I saw a Dollywood billboard that said β€œThe Great Smokies Are Calling” and I instantly felt peace and knew this is where I needed to be and that this was my sign from God. As excited as I am to be a part of the Kingdom Heirs, I will greatly miss The Griffins. They have become like family and I know God has great things in store for them. I’ve been able to get to know these guys from filling in during this transition time and they are great guys and already great friends. I look forward to meeting so many wonderful people at Dollywood and on the road. If you’ve never been to Dollywood, now is the perfect time to come visit and be sure to stop in and see us! I look forward to a great future with the Kingdom Heirs!"

Singing at Sea Cruise Postphoned 

Templeton Tours has announced that the 2022 Singing at Sea Cruise has been postphoned.

Below is their statement explaining why:
"In light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we have decided to reschedule the 2022 Singing at Sea Cruise.Β 

Although we had high hopes that the world and cruising would be back to normal by now, that is clearly not the case. The Delta variant has created another situation where States are imposing mask mandates, infections are on the rise, and cruising is operating under a CDC requirement for vaccinated passengers only. Given the spread of the Delta variant, this requirement is likely to be extended through the end of the year and likely into 2022. We therefore decided to reschedule the cruise for January 30 – February 3, 2023. Our hope is that it will be safe to cruise by that time, and there will not be a vaccine requirement.Β 

The cruise will still depart from Port Canaveral, FL on the Carnival Liberty and sail to Nassau, a private island, and spend a day at sea before returning to Florida. All of the groups, speakers, and entertainers have agreed to the new dates, and the pricing for the cruise will remain the same.Β 

If you have registered for the cruise, then we understand that you might have a scheduling conflict or work situation that would prevent you from traveling on these dates. If so, you may cancel your reservation up until December 31, 2021 and receive a full refund of the money you have paid towards the cruise. If we have not heard from you by December 31, 2021, then your cruise booking for the January 30 – February 3, 2023 Singing at Sea Cruise will be confirmed, and the normal cancellation policy will be in effect.Β 

We thank you for your support and the trust you have placed in us for your vacation, and look forward to providing you with a safe vacation full of Inspiration, Relaxation, and Great Southern Gospel Music!"

We hope you'll plan to cruise with us in 2023!Β  To sign up, visit:Β  https://www.templetontours.com/singingatsea/index.shtml.
