A4 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2018 LOCAL ‘American Idol’ star comes knockin’ at Crossroads Community Church Stacey’s ministry. During this concert trip, Stacey is slated for another Oregon performance — Thursday in Rogue River. Stacey, who has per- formed on “Ellen,” “The Tonight Show” and appeared on tours with Michael W. Smith and Natalie Grant, is no stranger to the spotlight. He grew up in a family full of min- isters. His father was a preacher, as were both of his grandfathers. Raised with a mission mindset, Stacey’s parents constantly reminded him through personal council and family devotions that God had a plan for his life. Stacey watched that plan unfold throughout his teen- age years as his love for music grew and doors began to open for him to perform. While serving with the U.S. Navy, he was given the opportunity of traveling as the lead vocalist with the Navy Rock Band Pride. By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR About six months ago Rev. Michael Kinlock received a call from some- one affiliated with Phil Stacey. Kinlock was familiar with the name. Stacey, who was among the finalists of season six of “American Idol,” is a Christian. “We watch ‘American Idol’ — not all the time, but I remember that season,” Kinlock said. “He stood out as a great singer.” When asked if he was interested in having Stacey perform at his church, Kin- lock said, “Sure.” And, that was pretty much the extent of the conversation. The gal, Kinlock said, told him he could get any needed information from Stacey’s website. “We’ve been trying to put Stanfield on the map,” Kinlock said. “This is abso- lutely one of the most amaz- CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Phil Stacey of ‘American Idol’ fame will perform Wednesday, March 7 in Stanfield. ing things to happen to us here in Stanfield in the 33 years since I’ve been here.” Fast-forward five months and Kinlock gets another call to discuss the partic- ulars. He was especially intrigued with how the stars aligned that resulted in someone like Phil Stacey, who lives in Kansas, ends up performing a show in Stanfield. “I said to the lady, ‘Do you know where we are?’” Kinlock said with a laugh. “We’re really excited and a little nervous at the same time.” The concert is Wednes- day, March 7 at 7 p.m. at Crossroads Community Church, 350 N.W. Sherman St., Stanfield. While there is no admission charge, a free- will offering will be taken to assist with paying for Stanfield students hustle their hearts BRIEFS Hermiston graduate leaps to London A 2011 Hermiston High School gradu- ate is featured in an upcoming episode of “House Hunters International.” Connor McMichael and his wife, Syd- ney, recently moved across the Big Pond.

SHOP ONLINE 24/7 HERMISTONCDJR.COM 2007 TOYOTA RAV4 Is Mom a little more forgetful lately? The 2007 “American Idol” appearance provided a boost for Stacey’s music ministry. His 2008 self-ti- tled album subsequently debuted at No. 8 on Bill- board’s Country Album Chart. His latest album, “Into the Light,” reached the 27th spot on U.S. Bill- board’s Top Christian Albums. Kinlock is still pinch- ing himself. He’s setting up extra chairs in the church’s sanctuary, but also has a back-up plan in case addi- tional seating is needed. “To have someone from ‘American Idol’ come to Stanfield is absolutely a miracle,” he said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen.” For more information about the local perfor- mance, call Kinlock at 541- 449-3434, 541-449-1251 or visit www.facebook. com/michael.kinlock.3.
