The Echoes journeyed to Calvary Baptist Church, New Liberty, Illinois, for their annual Homecoming. Mark Staton, Twila's husband, is the pastor at Calvary Baptist. And as the pastor's wife, Twila can be considered a valuable part of that pastorate.
But on this day, Twila moved from the pastorate duty to her Echoes duty, helping provide the singing to present the Gospel in Song.
After eating way too much of that delicious homecoming food, we started singing to a very receptive congregation. Perhaps the up-tempo "I've Got That Old Time Religion" was not the best choice to start with, as it is a little hard to breathe right after eating. But we settled in and had a great time singing about the Grace and Love that Jesus has for each of us. For those who have accepted that Grace, we were reminded that we have Hope, Faith and Love. "I'm Rich" served to provide that reminder.
Homecomings are a great time to reminisce and renew old acquaintances. It's also a great way to remind people about that great homecoming that all Believers will experience one day. We're so blessed to be able to be used to remind people of that.
