As with the Awakening Festival the week before, Sundays' event was accompanied by cloudy skies, rain, and wind. With the inclement weath er, the crowd was somewhat subdued at the onset of the concert but every one's mood quickly rose as the St. Paul Mass Choir took the stage and had everyone bobbing their heads. There were familiar faces from previous years, such as the JH Heath Mass Choir, Raymond and Kim Larkin, The Big 4 Choir and Pastor Grosjean with NU Sound. Anthony Bailey of the Big 4 Choir said, "We have come here to not only give God His praise, but we have come to support the other groups as well. Dr. Raymond O'Neal of the Renaissance Choir added: "I enjoy the fellowship, the coming together to lift up the name of Jesus. To let some crying person know that God is the answer to everything regardless if you're sick or going through whatev er, God is the answer." The Renaissance Choir, which also participated in the Awakening Festival, was a crowd favorite and has been for many years at Gospel Fest. Dionn "Maestro" Owen, director of the Renaissance choir, said "Ive never been on the stage with Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, or Kirk Franklin and it was totally different, but God really blessed us and I really enjoyed the unity that we had there." When asked what he enjoyed most about Gospel Fest, Owen replied, "I love it when we all come together. It's not about just one partic ular group that's singing, everybody supports everybody, and that's what I really like about it." There was a diverse group of per formers, from contemporary artists. traditional choirs, and there was even a mime group, so there was some thing for everyone, young and old alike. The organizers of the event also held raffles in between acts and gave away many prizes to the audience members, who were excited to partic ipate. There were even individuals that stopped by to enjoy the music that was not previously aware that the event was taking place, but just heard music and came to watch. Benita Matthews of the Big 4 Choir said, "I just enjoy gospel music, and this is some good gospel singing tonight." Bobby and Emma Chavis said they came out to cheer for Raymond and Kim Larkin, who attend the same church as well, and participate with the praise and worship team. The Gospel Fest will continue next weekend on Sunday, Oct.l 1 at 3 p.m. at the Dixie Classic Fair, and with better weather a larger crowd is expected.

We thank her wholeheartedly for her years of service to The Chronicle and the Winston - Salem community. Lesson Scripture: Acts 9:19b-31 By the end of this lesson we should ?Remember that Salvation is open to all ?Church folk beware who you write off ?Stay the course and people will recognize your trans 2 formation Background: Jerusalem and the surrounding areas are ablaze with excitement and caution. The Holy Spirit came in Acts 2 and the Gospel spread more. The numbers of believers were growing daily. They shared everything, which made others curious. Eventually, the Sanhedrin attempted to stop the apostles from preaching and teaching in the name of Jesus. It didn't work! Saul, a Pharisee, committed himself to wiping out See Peppers on Bi it 9
