The Bible tells us that God has set eternity in the hearts of man. While the concept of eternity is often hard to comprehend, we know that each of us has a short time on this earth by comparison. while we are here, we are all called to make the best of this time by representing our Creator and Savior rightly and faithfully. We are here to worship Him and do His good work, according to His exciting plan for our lives.
It is this concept on which the mission of the Eternity Quartet is based. As the group will tell you, “we count it a privilege to sing together and give an account - through our music and message - for the hope that is in us. All the while knowing that this is just the ‘warm-up’ act for the real eternity!”
The Eternity Quartet is comprised of Scott Ullsperger, Bass, Rick Riesterer, Baritone, Tim Riesterer, Tenor and Nathan Boyd, Lead. The guys have been singing together for nearly four years now and have produced three albums, Eternity Alive, What Lies Ahead and their latest, Enter In, all available on CD.
“People from ages 8-80 enjoy this kind of music,” the group said, which makes it possible for them to do public outreach events, partnering with public charities and public schools to put on Gospel concerts. In doing so, the ministry plants seeds in settings that Christian groups don’t often get access to.
“We have two goals for our shows: everyone must leave with the biggest possible smile on their face, and a stronger commitment to God’s plans and purpose for their life,” they said.
Eternity has had the privilege of singing for numerous benefit concerts in the last year. So far, those concerts have raised over $20,000 for charitable causes. These charities include: Hunger Task Force, Youth for Christ, Forward in Faith, American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, Appleton Christian Schools, Woodford Community Christian School and Safe Haven for domestic abuse victims as well youth sports programs.
At a time when popular music has taken a downward moral spiral, it is heartening to see that the music of Eternity is enjoyed by such a wide audience. In the style of the Oak Ridge Boys, Statler Brothers, Gaither Vocal Band and Signature Sound Quartet, this energetic foursome features a rich blend of four-part quartet singing and a positive, family-friendly stage show. With a passion for people, Eternity enjoys building a playful rapport with the audience, while delivering rock-solid harmonies across both country and southern gospel music styles. And those who have seen (and heard) Eternity on stage have wonderful things to say: “Thank you for making last night the best Concert in the Park St. Paul has ever had!” “It was very enjoyable to listen to men who admit to a relationship with God. I have never encountered such an enjoyable group.” “What a wonderful blessing you provided...although I fully expected to enjoy the evening and be blessed in the process, I had no idea how tremendous it would actually be!”
This coming June, Eternity will make its first ever appearance in Branson, Missouri, just in time to celebrate their four year anniversary! Branson continues to grow into one of the most popular tourist destinations for gospel and Country music fans, and Eternity will do two concerts there, in conjunction with their good friends in the group Spoken 4, June 14 and 15. Eternity and Spoken 4 developed a great friendship after putting on three joint concerts in Wisconsin last year. They’ll appear together in Wisconsin again in 2008, on August 15 in Hilbert during the annual Voices of Peace Gospel fest.
In September, Eternity will be the opening act for the Booth Brothers concert. In the last few years, the Booth Brothers have made a name for themselves performing with the Bill Gaither Homecoming tours, and were named Southern Gospel Music’s Vocal Group of the Year. Their show will be Saturday, September 20 at the Hamilton Fine Arts Center in Sussex, Wis.
Eternity has also produced a unique devotional booked based on the music the group performs. It is a 31-day devotional with each day featuring a song and a corresponding devotional thought written by a member of the group. This book is designed to help you go deeper than just the song lyrics to understand what God’s Word is saying, and how you can apply biblical concepts to your daily life.
