From the March of Dimes Benefit concert earlier in the afternoon, the Echoes travelled across town to sing once again at an evening performance at the Gaither Suites Assisted Living Center, in Paducah.
Our good friends there once again filled the "parlor" for a time of singing, testimony, singing, piano playing, singing, and then some sing-along singing. Did we mention that there was singing?
The Echoes always enjoy the warm reception that we receive from the residents, who so graciously invite us into their home to enjoy the Gospel in Song. It's like a big family getting together -- which, in a real way, it is. We're all a part of The Family of God.
We'll be going back again during the first part of 2007.

March of Dimes Benefit - November 18th
David spent part of his birthday with the Echoes singing at the 2006 Annual March of Dimes Benefit Gospel Singing. This year, the event, coordinated by Barney McNeil, was held at Grace International Church in Paducah, Kentucky. The Echoes are one of a few groups who have supported the annual March of Dimes singing, ever since its inception in 2001.
By the way, Barney recently joined the West Kentucky Gospel Music Association as a promoter of Gospel Music. Welcome to the WKGMA, Barney, from the Echoes from Calvary, your fellow members!
The two-day event features a large number of area gospel talent, ranging from contemporary to good ole Southern Gospel.
It's always a privilege to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ in song,

Honeycomb Church of God - November 11th
The Echoes sang with Mike Hadfield at the Honeycomb Church of God, as they hosted a chili supper and singing as a fundraiser for the international Church of God Youth Missions.
The chili was delicious, the desserts were to die for, and the singing was food for the soul. Mike Hadfield writes a lot of the songs he sings, and he has some GOOD songs. He's also an accomplished musician, who programs all his accompaniment using keyboards, guitar, midi connections -- he's a talented guy, to say the least!
The Echoes found it easy to sing to the congregation, as the smiles were as bright as the Spirit was real during the evening.
The pastor, Harold Miller, invited the Echoes to be the featured singers at Honeycomb's New Year's Eve service. So, we'll look forward to returning in a few weeks to worship once again with the folks at Honeycomb.

WKGMA Fall Convention - November 4th
A great line-up culminated the third night of the 2006 WKGMA Fall Convention on Saturday night, November 4th. Trinity Baptist Church, in Paducah, Kentucky, once again served as very enthusiastic hosts for the event. Phillip Smith, WKGMA President, emceed the event and kept the evening moving along with quite a selection of quartets, trios, duets and soloist, each singing praises to God, and blessing the good crowd in attendance.
The Echoes were received very warmly, especially with people amening and raising their hands in praise to God, as we sang "He'd Do It All Again." In fact, the entire evening was very spirit-filled and worshipful. It was repeatedly said that this convention was probably one of the best ever.
That makes us doubly-anxious for the 2007 Spring Convention to get here, which once again will be hosted by Trinity Baptist. Watch our Schedule for the date, and plan to be with us.
