Perhaps we've always wondered what it would be like to participate in a "Gaither Homecoming"-style event. Well, we came close to it, as the Echoes joined with other WKGMA (West Kentucky Gospel Music Association) members at Briensburg Baptist Church in Draffenville, KY. The event was also shown live on the Marshal County Cable TV system, channel 28.
The event was a benefit for a group of youth and their pastor, Darvin Strum, from Lakeview Baptist Church, near Draffenville, who will be going on a mission trip to Poland later this year. Darvin is also the current President of WKGMA.
The Echoes were honored to be "showcased" at the event. That means that we sang one song prior to the "Homecoming Choir" special. The crowd enjoyed "I'm Rich," and clapped along to that toe-tapping message.
Then it was the WKGMA Choir's turn to present the Gospel Message in song, as we all joined together to sing a number of "old standard" songs, such as "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now," "Had It Not Been," and "He's A Personal Saviour."
Now we can say we've experienced it. Now we're looking forward to doing it again!
