The Echoes helped our friends at Rosiclare First Baptist Church celebrate the church's 60th Anniversary, as we "sang for our supper" at a Burger and Hot Dog supper at the church.
Roy Lee Baker, the pastor of the church, is the son of Lon Baker, a long-time member of the Echoes. Lon sang bass for the Echoes from 1970 until his retirement in 1993. As you saw in an earlier blog, Lon went home to be with his Lord last year.
When food is present, Baptists tend to gather, we've found. And this was no exception, as the church was filled to near capacity to enjoy the food and the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in song.
One special episode during our singing was Roy Lee joining Sharon and Twila in singing "Somebody Prayed For Me," with David on the piano. That song has a special place in Roy Lee's heart, since there were indeed a lot of people praying for him some years back as he battled -- and conquered -- cancer.
Congratulations, Rosiclare First Baptist, on your first 60 years. May you continue to have many more -- until the next coming of Jesus.
