The Echoes visited once again for another Glorybound Christian Entertainment event at the Goshen United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall in Stella, Kentucky.
Founded by the late Joe Lawrence, the event still continues, even after Joe's recent promotion to Heaven, through the on-going efforts of Renee Taylor and Pat Lea. April Arnold, a local United Methodist pastor, has taken over Joe's duties of delivering a short inspirational message during the break in singing.
The Echoes presented Renee and Pat a plaque in memory of Joe, which we hope will serve to remind people of Joe's love for gospel music, the Gospel itself, and above all his love for Jesus.
We shared the evening with several soloists, including April Arnold. Since it is the Christmas Season, several Christmas songs were sung. But since Christmas songs aren't usually a part of our repertoire, we decided to go caroling. This took the form of inviting a few of our friends, including the other singers and the Erwins (of the WKGMA) to stroll to different tables (houses) and sing carols to the inhabitants at each "house." It was fun to go caroling again, and most of all to sing about our Saviour's birth.
And while we miss Joe, we're happy to be a small part in keeping his legacy going in the form of the Glorybound Christian Entertainment events.
May each of you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas, from the Echoes from Calvary.
