Dear Southern Gospel Music Fans
If you have been watching our updates you may know that the GGJA has moved to a new location. We have successfully completed a complete year at the Cambridge City Park Pavilion and we have received great comments about the new facility. The new location is at 1203 N. 8th St. Cambridge, Ohio 43725 and it is more then double the size of our previous location. I do want to tell you a story of the last sing of the year in September, our good friends and great group Chosen Grace were on the stage and they were singing their last song. In fact it was the very last group and song and then we were closing the sing for the 2019 year when a sudden storm arose. To be fair throughout the last 45 minutes before the storm we saw some lightning and had a few short showers but nothing like what was about to happen. It seems a straight wind blew up from the north and into the back of the pavilion (where the stage is) and that storm had rain, pine needles and leaves in it. It blew hard, sound equipment, visual equipment, instruments and people were drenched in seconds. To be honest I had never been in such a storm! In the middle of the storm Joe Phipps our sound engineer ran to the stage and cut the power and most likely saved all of the equipment. As you can imagine Lisa (our Treasurer's) piano was running water out of the bottom, my speakers and Flat Screen Televisions were running with water and all of Joe's sound equipment was wet. When the storm was over we cleaned up and packed our equipment up not knowing if any of it would work again. I sent out a plea to our friends on Facebook for prayer and many responded. As the week rolled on we dried out the equipment as best we could. Friends our God heard our prayer and not one piece of equipment was damaged. We serve a powerful God and He heard our cry for mercy! If our God can do the for our equipment what could He do for us? If we call on His name He will hear from heaven and respond to our needs. Thank you for coming to our sings!
In Christ, Pastor Tim Thomas
