The Heavenly Journey Blog

Wow!  What an incredible night! The Spirit was moving!!  Saturday night, 2/23/08, Heavenly Journey participated in the 2nd Annual Gospel Slam in Magee, Mississippi.  This is a gospel singing where the four groups involved actually GET INSIDE the wrestling ring to sing.  Participants this year were us (Heavenly Journey), New Genesis, Voices of Faith and DaySpring.  What can I say about these three groups?!  New Genesis has a great 4 part harmony, and received a standing ovation from the crowd.  Every time we’ve heard them, the place has been filled with the Holy Spirit!  Awesome!  Voices of Faith and DaySpring - wow!  Both groups sing straight from the heart, and others are so blessed when they hear them.  After each group sang, we took a break, then Heavenly Journey and New Genesis went “head to head”, and three judges, picked from the crowd, gauged the crowd reaction for the favorite.  We just barely beat them out!  They were great!  Of course, it may have had something to do with Tim Hendricks going over and “hugging” the female judge…  And then, Voices of Faith and DaySpring went “head to head”.  DaySpring won that one.  Then, we got to go “head to head” with DaySpring for the Gospel Slam Championship Belt.  Well, we didn’t bring it home.  DaySpring won!  CONGRATULATIONS, DaySpring!!  Y’all rock!!

Heavenly Journey sang at Lou’s Pavilion in Sebastopol on Saturday, February 2. This was our first visit and we really enjoyed it!

The atmosphere is incredible! It was originally an open-air shed (very large) that they enclosed. They have bedrooms, a huge kitchen, a stage and tables for eating. They are also still adding features!

We got to hear some really good local artists also. They sang bluegrass, country, and folk music.

Awesome!!

We really look forward to going back there on May 3.

Come join us!!

We will be participating in Gospel Slam, 2008, in Magee, Mississippi on Saturday, February 23.

This is the 2nd annual Gospel Slam, and it is held in the Battlezone Wrestling Arena on Hwy 28.

Last year, four groups sang, Voices of Faith, Heavenly Journey, Psalms Trio and Hearts Desire. At the end of the regular singing, we had “sing-off” and the crowd got to pick their favorite of the night.

Voices of Faith won last year and will back to defend their title this year.

Joining us this year will be New Genesis from Yazoo City and DaySpring Trio from Choctaw, two great groups full of wonderful people!

We are looking forward to this event and hope all y’all come out to support us! We need it!!

Love in Christ,

Karen
