WKGMA Spring Convention

The Echoes once again were participants in the West Kentucky Gospel Music Association's Spring Convention for 2013.  The organization was organized in 1976 to help promote and sustain Southern Gospel music in the Western Kentucky area.  Membership today includes groups and soloists from several surrounding states.

For our part, the Echoes joined the organization in the early 90's and have been participants since that time.  Our own Twila Staton serves as Secretary of the organization.

At this 3-day convention, held at Trinity Baptist Church, in Paducah, KY, the Echoes went back in the archives on the final night of the convention for our song selections.  Since the Echoes are in their 44th year of continuous ministry, we started out with "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now."  From there, Twila was featured on "What Judas Didn't Know," which talks about the saving Grace of Jesus Christ.  We concluded our set with the rousing "My Name Is Lazarus."

We also enjoyed listening to a number of other WKGMA artists as they presented the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the best music in the world, Southern Gospel.
