The Echoes participated in the WKGMA Fall Convention, held once again at Trinity Baptist Church, in Paducah, KY. Good reports came from the Thursday night portion of the Convention, with several saying that the Holy Spirit was really present that night. Well, Friday night was no different, as 13 soloists, trios and quartets sang the Glory down.
The Echoes were fifth on the program and had to make a last-minute substitution of our planned song list. One of the previous groups sang one of the songs we had planned, so it was a simple substitute to another song that wove in the message of the Gospel.
David was in the midst of an active kidney stone attack, but didn't let that slow him down, as he took the lead on "It Pays To Pray," Twila then challenged everyone with "Preach The Word." We ended our set with a happy - and snappy - thought of going to Heaven, with "Yes I Am."
The enthusiastic congregation, who freely and demonstratively worshiped as the songs were sung, made the evening a blessing for everyone -- including the Echoes.
You just can't beat Gospel singing with God's people.
