These WKGMA Conventions just seem to be getting better and better! The Echoes sang on the final night of the 3-day convention, and the Spirit of the Lord was present, just as He had been on the two previous nights.
There were a total of 13 soloists or groups singing on this particular night. Emcee Darvin Stom, the WKGMA President, kept the pace going, so that the night would not be too long. And Mike Glover ("For Heaven's Sake") and his crew did a fantastic job on the sound for the convention.
A couple of new WKGMA members sang -- "Yours Truly," a trio, and soloist Kendall Vickrey, who sang just before the Echoes. Kendall's sincere testimony and song delivery just primed both us and the crowd, with us starting off with "Jesus Made A Believer Out of Me." We then moved right into "Reason Enough," a song which explains some of the reasons we believe in Jesus Christ. And even though it had already been sung previously this evening, we ended our set with "Did I Mention," which was the debut of that song in our repertoire. Since the song talks about loving Jesus, we tagged the song with an a capella chorus of "Oh How I Love Jesus," with the congregation joining in. Talk about goose-bumps!
It was a very enjoyable evening, especially because of the presence of God in the house. And the folks at our host, Trinity Baptist Church, did their part to make everyone welcomed.
If you want a blessing, watch for and plan to attend the 2011 WKGMA Spring Convention.
