COME, LISTEN, LEARN, DISCUSS, AND ESPECIALLY SING SPIRITUALS IN A CHURCH!
Do you want to learn more about Balm in Gilead; Go Tell It On the Mountain; Kum ba yah; Oh Freedom; Swing, Low, Sweet Chariot; Wade in the Water, and other spirituals? Spirituals are the religious folksongs of Black American slaves that began to appear early in the nineteenth century.
Representatives of music ministries, song leaders, choir members, and other individuals interested in spirituals are invited to
Ev'ry Time I Feel the Spirit:
