The Echoes shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the senior group of Immanuel Baptist Temple, the Triple L's. After a delicious pot-luck meal, we sang a number of songs, and also gathered around the piano for some Christmas carols. (That's "Christmas" carols, not "Holiday" carols).
As we close out the year, we're especially thankful for all the people who have attended our concerts and helped us worship the Lord. Maybe we can worship with you in the coming year.

Gospel Mission Tabernacle - Bill Carter Benefit - December 2nd
The Goodness and Mercy of God, as well as the generosity of friends and neighbors, was well-represented, as the Echoes took part in a benefit singing for Bill Carter, of the Dixon Springs/Pope County area of Illinois.
Bill has been dealing with melanoma for several years. But his testimony was the highlight of the evening. Bill's faith and trust in God is greater than any disease that might attack him. And that has been a big part of his survival thus far. God's healing power, which is far greater than man's understanding, can overcome. As a song we used to sing says, "God has it Under Control."
A local youth group ended the evening with a drama presentation, which depicts Satan's attempts to control our lives. But turning to Jesus can break the chains that Satan uses to bind -- a very powerful message in a contemporary format.
The love that the community has for the Carter family was amply displayed, as over $2000 was raised to help Bill and his family pay for medical-related expenses. And as another song we sang that night states: "Even In The Valley God Is Good."
To God be the Glory.
