Here are some pics from our first Gospel Night on Feb. 15th. It could well have been the best show we have ever had. Almost 80 people were there from Celebrate Recovery, Loving Hearts and Mountain People Recovery from Holston Homes. Madison Metcalf knocked it out of the park with contemporary Christian music and Lonesome Pine had the crowd rocking with favorite traditional gospel tunes. Ralph Shipley with Celebrate Recovery explained at intermission that CR is for anyone who really wants to change a particular hurt, habit or hangup, regardless of whether it is alcohol or drug related. We would love some feedback. Should we have another Gospel Night in our 2025-2026 season? Leave a comment please.
