A few months ago we were approached with the idea for having a Christian concert run and performed by all the local churches. Even though the time frame was short we had more than enough interest to scheduled a full complement artists, singers, and performers. There were longtime friends in bands, new groups that played together specifically for the Praise Fest, and local church praise bands. The venue was “R Cabins” in Channing and it turned out to be a perfect spot. Not only did it provide enough space for all the lawn chairs and shade trees, but there was also plenty of room for children to run and play, and the parking on the highway was supplemented with the R Cabins golf cart picking up and dropping off anyone who needed a shorter walk.
As this was the first ever event of this sort, we are extremely thankful for all the good participation and attendance. The lasting impression was that of God’s people coming together for informal but heartfelt worship. The sky and trees became our sanctuary, and the voices were made up of worshippers from all denominations. Thank you to all those who contributed to make this event a success.
