Gospel Karaoke Talent Show a Hit

Last month, congregants sung praises unto the Lord with enough power and passion to bring David and the angels in heaven on their feet. On September 30, Grace Baptist Church of Christ hosted Her first annual karaoke talent show. Nearly 60 members, friends and family turned out to what proved to be a blessed night of fun worship and fellowship.

The audience must have known that it was going to be a great night when Sis. Paulette Booth started the experience with Donnie McClurkin’s hit “We Fall Down.” The stage was set and the energy was high for the rest of the karaoke talent show.

Sis. Shellia Jenkins-Ward and many other members were most enthusiastic about a performance from “Little Ms. Fabulous”: a group that comprised of young and energized girls that came ready and prepared to sing the roof off.

“Those girls were having such a great time singing,” Sis. Ward said with a wide smile.

But they weren’t the only youth who gave Grace a jolt; Shaun Price was able to shake the room as a human percussionist, or beat boxer. His performance mixed up the vibe for the night and effectively brought everyone to their feet in support of the spiritual neo-Doug E. Fresh rendition.

While everyone was ecstatic to see the youth sing (and beat box) praises to the Lord, the seniors and longtime members of Grace contributed just as much energy and spirit to the night. Sis. Beverly Findley moved the crowd when she sang “I Love the Lord.” Sis. Angelina Bolden also represented and added extra flavor to the show with her bilingual performance. Ella cantó maravillosamente en Inglés y español!

When the night ended, everyone was pleased and blessed to have fellowshipped with their brothers and sisters. The karaoke talent show was yet another great demonstration by the Grace family that proves we are Christians who know how to have fun, enjoy each other’s company and give honor and praise to the Lord at the same time. If you missed out, make sure to participate in the next show!

In the meantime, there is always a choir that can use an extra voice or two.
