Glory Bound Christian Entertainment

The Echoes always enjoy singing at the Glory Bound Christian Entertainment events at the Goshen Methodist Church, in Stella, KY (rural Murray).

On this return visit, we sang with soloists April Arnold and Ms Mathias (sorry, the brain does not retain as much the older one gets).  

Pat and Renee are carrying on the tradition that the late Joe Lawrence started a number of years ago.  They sponsor these monthly events to offer an opportunity for the community to hear the Gospel in Song and to fellowship with finger-food refreshments.  They also present a weekly radio program, utilizing excepts from the live singings.

The Echoes have been participating for several years and look forward to being a part of Glory Bound for years to come.

Trader's Mall

After singing at the Aurora Fall Festival earlier in the day, we traveled down the road to Trader's Mall, outside of Paducah, Kentucky.  First planned as a WKGMA Mini-convention, the evening ended up as we joined "For Heaven's Sake," from Murray, KY and "Yours Truly," from Clarksville, TN.  It was not a large crowd that we sang to, but they were enthusiastic and very receptive to the Gospel in Song by the three groups.

We always enjoy the opportunity to sing about Jesus.

Aurora Fall Festival

The Echoes returned to sunny Aurora, Kentucky, to climb up on the trailer once again and sing to those sitting around tables eating lunch.  

The Aurora Baptist Church is right along the parade route and busy thoroughfare, and have a very popular food booth, which usually draws a good crowd of hungry patrons.  The church arranges for various groups and soloists  who are members of the West Kentucky Gospel Music Association to sing to those eating at the tables (or in some cases just there to hear the music and songs).

It's one of those times where we don't know how many are listening, which words of the songs might be speaking to someone in a special way, or what impact our efforts might be having on someone.  

We're just there to help sow the seeds; we leave the rest up to God.
