With a touch of Broadway and flair of storytelling, award-winning Christian singer/songwriter Larnelle Harris captivated the Tuesday evening crowd at the State Evangelism Conference held at First Baptist Church, Trussville.
Just three songs in and the more than 1,000 in attendance jumped to their feet for a standing ovation. A few songs later, it happened again. The final ovation pushed him back to the stage for an extra song.
Throughout Harris’ concert, Alabama Baptists were engaged, singing along at times and sensing the presence of the Lord with each note.
The Monday evening crowd experienced another award-winning Christian artist with the sweet-spirited and loveable Charles Billingsley. His comfort level interacting with the choir of Gardendale First Baptist Church as well as the audience put those in attendance at ease.
Billingsley spent most of his time leading music rather than being the special music, and that brought a Sunday morning church feel to the atmosphere. He did get to showcase his songwriting and vocal skills in a few key moments Monday night and Tuesday morning though.
Other special music was provided by the choir of First, Trussville; music evangelist Bob Smith; music evangelist Frank Jones and Tim Head of Capitol Heights Baptist Church, Montgomery.
