The Rest of the Story on the Gospel Festival
     Join us on Sunday, October 24 at 4:00 p.m. as we host the second event of our year long Anniversary Celebration.  We will start off the evening with the choir from Shiloh Baptist Church.  Shiloh is one of the largest and fastest growing Churches in Eastern Connecticut. Led by the dynamic Rev. Dr. Benjamin Watts, the Church is reaching out to the city of New London with the Gospel of Love.  The choir shares that same enthusiastic love of the Lord and you will be moved by their music.

     Following an intermission we will be touched by the music of the Morgan Sisters. Myrna and Gisela Morgan have gained a reputation for their warm style, exuberant approach, and anointed singing.  Their extraordinary voices present a unique repertoire of inspirational songs from traditional hymns to contemporary gospel. They have dedicated their lives to share the gospel in song in order to edify God's people and minister to the needy.

     Twin sisters, born in St. Kitts in the West Indies, they started singing in their father's church at the age of two.  Upon graduation from high school they moved to Boston, Ma. where they both felt the calling to go into the music industry.  They have been traveling extensively ever since.  The Morgan Sisters are winners of the 1995 New England Christian Talent Search Competition sponsored by WNRB.

     The FBC 200th Anniversary Committee is pleased that they could bring these two groups together and are looking forward to an evening of extraordinary and uplifting music.  Invite your friends and let's praise God through song!
