Woodmont Baptist Church Concert Brings New Fans!  | |
(Photo by Richard Dickerson)
|
A baker's dozen of our singers assembled at Woodmont Baptist Church last Friday night to perform 11 songs for their senior dinner. The evening went very well, included the public debut of three new songs, and ended in a standing ovation. This was also the very first performance for Michael Thornton. Kudos to church staffers Lil Cook and Richard Dickerson for making us feel right at home!
