Gospel Concert at Ephrata Business Center

Thursday, May 9

 

 

Because of our schedule, we rarely go to a concert or event that does not involve our church or TFC, but this seemed like a good, relaxing dinner concert – and it was. It was a fundraiser for Strait Paths Ministries (Steve and Dorcas Stutzman).

 

 

It was interesting to be so close to home – in a room of 600-plus people – and recognize only a few of them.

 

 

Garment of Praise opened at 6:00 p.m. They are one of the best acapella quartets in our area.

 

 

Following a delicious buffet dinner, Ryan and Friends (ventriloquist) entertained us for awhile – mostly at the expense of Steve and Dorcas Stutzman.

 

 

Jeffrey was the only dummy that Ryan used on this night.

 

 

Jeffrey said his one big dream was to sing with Garment of Praise. Look at his face. You can see he is having a good time.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, he did use another “dummy” – his little son Max. Ryan’s wife is standing in the background.

 

 

The little guy had no idea what his daddy was doing as Ryan switched from his own voice to a baby voice – with Max telling his dad what a wonderful father he was.

 

 

The Stutzman Family closed the evening with challenging songs and thoughts.

 

 

It was good to hear them again. We had them at TFC’s Lancaster Dinner Concert at the end of March.
