SPRINGFIELD, Missouri – The Cerces, one of the Midwest’s most popular family groups, were recently the recipients of the 2005 Horizon Group of the Year award, presented by the Branson Gospel Singers Songwriters Association (BGSSA).

The awards, which are determined by voting among Association members, were presented by the BGSSA at their annual awards ceremony on Sunday night, September 25th at the beautiful Chateau on the Lake resort in Branson, Missouri.

In other awards, new group lead singer, Andy Fauth, who has been a member of the Association for several years prior to joining The Cerces, was nominated in two other categories - Male Vocalist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Also, Cliff Cerce, group manager and baritone, received two additional nominations as well in the categories of Horizon Male Vocalist of the Year and Horizon Songwriter of the Year.

The BGSSA includes approximately 150 members and is headed by Dove Award winning songwriters DK and Sherrie Brewster who are affiliated with Gaither Publishing. Other well-known members include Gospel performers and songwriters Gary S. Paxton, Bill Burns, Randy Brooks, and Randy Plummer and the Plummer Family.

The Association now owns a one million dollar piece of choice Branson property in the area of the new theatre development in the city, where it plans to build an all-Gospel theatre within the next year. This building will be used to present Gospel performances and ministries of the Association's members, as well as of top touring groups, to the many tourists who visit Branson each year. Though now in temporary quarters, the Association will host Kevin Spencer and Friends in October.

Cliff Cerce commented, "We just joined the Association this past year, and DK and Sherrie Brewster and the other members have given us the warmest welcome imaginable. We were attracted to them because of the Brewster's commitment to provide meaningful and anointed Gospel music ministry and entertainment to the Branson area. Our ministry has already expanded in the region due to the influence and work of this fine organization. We expect to have a wonderful and profitable relationship with them for many years to come.”

Be listening for the group’s current single, “O Happy Day,” on Southern Gospel radio across the country. The group is currently preparing for a new album.
