Grammy and Stellar Award- winning gospel artist, Tye Tribett along with Stellar Award-winning gospel artist, Kierra Sheard will be fea- tured at the NO LIMITS Live Experience. This concert will be held Friday, September 2, 2016 at Grace Family Church, 5101 Van Dyke Rd., Lutz, FL.
“We are so excited that we have secured both Tye Tri- bett and Kierra Sheard for our Live Experience. Over the past several years contempo- rary gospel music has been making an impact in the Tampa Bay area. We believe that the timing is right to bring in artists of their magnitude and stature, stated Cepeda McKay.”
Cepeda McKay and No Limits are no strangers to the Tampa Bay and State of Florida Gospel Music Commu- nity. Cepeda and his younger brother, Zachary started their ministry when they were 11 and 10 years old, respec- tively. They quickly gained a reputation of being passionate, skillful, energetic and anointed ministers of the Gospel. Min- isterial excellence was im- pressed upon them early, as evident by their tight har- monic vocal arrangements and skillful instrumental presenta- tions.
Through the years they have been called upon to provide all types of services as it pertains to Gospel Music; Church and Pastor Anniversaries, City and County Celebrations, youth conferences, workshops, sym- posiums, weddings, funerals, just to name a few.
“Our parents have always told us if we stay humble and allow God to use us, our gift will make room for us. Our ministry has literally traveled across the United States. We are so blessed,” stated Zachary.
NO Limits was recently provided the opportunity to be the background vocals on Martha Munizzi’s new album and ministered as “New Breed” on Israel Houghton’s presentation on the new BET show, “Joyful Noise” (scheduled for airing Fall 2016) at the BET studios
in Washington, DC.
Tye Tribett’s ministry has
inspired, transformed and electrified audiences all over the world with his original gospel music presentation. A preacher’s kid, a multi-instru- mentalist, song writer and choir director formed his en- semble, Greater Anointing in the late 90s. Tye roared on the scene with his live recordings Life and Victory Live followed by the album Fresh.
In 2013 he blazed the charts with the Greater Than album, featuring “If He Did It Before He’ll Do It Again,” which earned him two Grammys. His message is one of total de- pendence on God and God’s redemptive Grace.
Currently, Tye has em- barked on two new endeavors. He has acknowledged his call- ing to Pastor. He now Pastors in Orlando, FL. He is also the host of new and upcoming show, “Joyful Noise.”
Kierra Sheard, also known as “Kiki,” was born in the Gospel Music genre of music. She is the daughter of Karen Clark Sheard of the legendary Clark Sisters. "Kiki" spent her formative years in Detroit surrounded by family, faith, and music. She sang in the choir as a young girl in the church where her fa- ther, Bishop. J. Drew Sheard, preached, and at the age of nine appeared on the hit single "The Safest Place," a duet with her mother from the successful Finally Karen record. At the age of 17 she re- leased her debut album, I Owe You, combining the worlds of gospel, hip-hop, and soul into a contemporary sound.
“We not only want to show- case new music God has given us, we also want this night to be a night of refreshing for the Body of Christ. Therefore, we were elated when all the pieces of the puzzle fell in place to pull this night off. Grace Fam- ily Church and Pastor Craig has been so gracious by invit- ing the community into their awesome facility. Then to top it off Kierra and Tye are coming to minister like only they can. This will be a night to remember,” Cepeda stated.
“In the Spotlight are children available for adoption into your family.”
The August child in the spotlight for One Church One Child of Florida, Inc., is Jer- emiah. Continue to pray for him and consider making him a part of your family through adoption or a part of your church through Project Watch-Care, for support and mentoring.
Jeremiah’s a sweet, play- ful kid who loves games of all kinds. He can be a little shy, but he has a big heart and he cares for other people, and so it makes sense that his biggest goal is to become a fireman when he grows up. Jeremiah tries hard in school - excelling especially in math - and he’s very proud of being chosen as a library aide this year.
Jeremiah is a very thoughtful, loving kid who wants and deserves to have his sweet, affectionate nature reciprocated by a forever fam- ily. He’ll thrive in a loving, pa- tient, two-parent home that will nurture his many talents
and help him to retain contact with his family out-of-state.
