120 Doves for Nampa's God and Country Rally

The God and Country Rally has become a beloved and notable event that takes place the Wednesday prior to July 4th each year. This action-packed event is coordinated by notably active members of the Nampa, Idaho community with a board comprised of real estate agency executives, Chamber of Commerce members, and govermnment representatives. Thousands of area Christian families join together on this evening, at the Idaho Center in Nampa, for special presentations, touching family-oriented musical performances (this year Mark Schultz was the premier artist), and a most spectacular fireworks show.

This year, A Breath of Heaven Doves released 120 pure white doves (pure white homing pigeons, carefully trained to return home immediately, following their release). The birds were released at the poignant moment in a patriotic song -- the climactic ending. As the men's voices soared, so did the birds! The impact of the moment was unforgettable, as white wings ascended into the sky, stoically, gracefully, punctuating the moment with their powerful visual and emotional symbolism.

Brian Knight captured photographs of the release from the vantage point of the stage (as shown above).

101 White Doves Released for Alsip and Persons Funeral Chapel

October 23, 2008 marked a very special day or Alsip & Persons Funeral Chapel in Nampa, Idaho. It was the day of their 101st Anniversary of serving Treasure Valley families, here in south-western Idaho. To mark the event, the Nampa Chamber of Commerce members came to celebrate, along with other notable locals.

The event was catered by the European Bakery, located downstairs in the historic Masonic Building (which also houses Bistro 29).

A notable portion of the evening was the release of 101 snow-white doves, by A Breath of Heaven Doves, commemorating Alsip's 101st Anniversary. Key community members participated in the white dove release, such as the fire chief, members of the Nampa Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Women's Century Club.

Congratulations go out to the staff of Alsip & Persons Funeral Chapel, and its reputation for professional and highly-compassionate care of families in their times of need.
