Bethany General Baptist Autumn Service - October 21st

The Echoes appeared at Bethany General Baptist Church, on Route 34 in the Hicks Community of Hardin County, Illinois, for their annual "Autumn" Service. This event includes decorating the church in Fall colors, and dressing up in "old timey" clothing for some, to celebrate God's Goodness during the Harvest season.

David "dressed up" in his overalls and fit right in with Pastor Stan Pennell, who was similarly attired.

It was a good evening of inspirational singing, testimony and fellowship. The after-service meal was also an enjoyable part of the evening, too.

Gaither Suites at Westpark - October 7th

Those residents at Gaither Suites at Westpark Assisted Living Center just can't seem t get enough of good Southern Gospel singing with the Echoes from Calvary. We were asked to return once again -- the second time this year -- to provide the Gospel in Song to a full house in their "parlor" area.

We followed our "tried and true" formula of singing some of our more current songs, then going back into the hymnal and singing requests of the old standards. This is always a popular segment. We then end the evening with a final message from our newer selections.

The smiles on faces, and the kind words as we greet the residents after the singing, indicate that we'll most likely be going back again and again.
