Longstreet Baptist Church to Feature “His Grace” in Concert

Article Image Alt Text

Rev. Charles Hall and the congregation of Longstreet Baptist Church cordially invite you to join them on Sunday, February 1 as they host a Gospel concert and singing. During the regular 11:00 AM service, “His Grace” will be featured as they share God’s love through their music. A covered dish dinner will follow the performance in the church fellowship hall. Across decades, southern gospel music has been an inspiration to many devoted listeners. Whether this lively and heart-stirring music is performed by soloists, duets, trios, or quartets, people are encouraged by its joyous message of a risen Savior who freely gives grace that is sufficient for their every need. It is this message of hope that "His Grace", a male quartet from West-Central Louisiana, brings to every performance.
