The Fall season brings out many people to celebrate harvest by parades, decorations and other opportunities to get together. What has become somewhat of a tradition for the first Saturday in October, the Echoes once again traveled to Aurora, Kentucky, to sing as part of the outreach program at Aurora Baptist Church.
Perched on a stage which doubles in its spare time as a large flatbed trailer, we were the last group of the day. In past years, the weather has been hot, cool, and just right. This time around, it was one of those cool times -- some would say "cold," as the temperatures were in the low 60's and the north wind blowing fairly strong. David was a little cold, given that he didn't have the foresight to know that a short sleeved shirt with no jacket would not be appropriate attire.
But no matter, it was another opportunity to present the Gospel in song. The church operates a food tent and tables on the parking lot for the many people who are walking by their property during the day. Various members of the West Kentucky Gospel Music Associate provide the dining music from the trailer / stage.
The people come and go during the singing. The words of the songs go out. We don't know the impact of the messages in song on those people. We just know that what goes out in God's name will not come back void.
We enjoyed being laborers in the field in Aurora.
