WKGMA Mini-Convention - October 7th

We joined with our friends, the New Harmony Singers, Alma Young, and the Peacemakers in a Western Kentucky Gospel Music Association (WKGMA) Mini-Convention. The singing was held at the Union Association of Social Brethren Camp, located on Route 145 at Delwood, Illinois.

First up were the Echoes, who sang some older songs, some requested songs, and some of the current songs we have been doing recently. Next, was the New Harmony Singers, who were minus most of their band and a singer. But Alma Young filled in for the missing singer, and the piano player carried the load on the musical side.

Alma Young then sang a few songs which blessed the heart, as always, and then she introduced the Peacemakers, of Paducah, Kentucky, as the final group to sing.

The end of the singing took on tones of a Gaither Homecoming, as all the singers gathered on the stage for a rousing rendition of "I'll Fly Away." It almost made one ready to "fly away," should the Lord return.

It's always good to sing on the same program with other people who love Gospel Music and love sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Song. And it's always good to see those in the audience who are enjoying the blessings of the Lord.
