WKGMA Spring Convention

This year's Spring Convention of the WKGMA (West Kentucky Gospel Music Association) took place at Spring Bayou Baptist Church, near Kevil, Kentucky. For a large part of its existence, the convention was held in various locations in Paducah, Kentucky, with the last several years at Trinity Baptist Church in Paducah. The leaders of the WKGMA thought that they would try taking the convention "on the road" to different venues in Western Kentucky. Thus, the convention moved a little westwardly to Kevil.

The Echoes sang this year on the beginning Thursday night of the 3-day convention. Emcee (and Convention President) Darvin Strom kicked it off with the congregation singing a medley of Praise and Worship, blending old familiar hymns with newer P&W songs.

The groups and soloists then took the stage, to present the Gospel in Song to the enthusiastic audience. As always, the convention was an enjoyable worship experience, while showcasing some of the best Gospel talent in the area.
