Sundays are Family Days - Silver Dollar City Southern Gospel Picnic

I am currently back home working for a couple of days before heading north again to catch the last half of Silver Dollar City's Southern Gospel Picnic.

Sunday we started the morning at the Red Gold Hall for morning worship. We had a great service with the Hosea Bilyeu family. I was able to see four different family groups. Here is a look at some of the highlights.

The Lesters

This was the second time I have seen the Lesters since it became an all family group again with the addition of Bailee Lester. They are just getting better and better!

  • "Hold On Tight"
  • "Ain't God Good"
  • "Call on Jesus Medley" - Great song that really got the crowd going. 
  • "I Shall Know Him" - They did a great job on this old hymn!
Reggie Saddler Family
  • "In Christ Alone" - Ingra sang this song solo from her new project. This was the highlight of the set for me! Absolutely beautiful!
  • "Whiter Than Snow"
  • "I've Got Me a Home"
  • "Fill My Cup Lord" - This is the title song from their new project. Good to hear some of their new songs!
The Erwins
  • "Isn't He God" 
  • "I Choose to Be a Christian" - Katie knocked this one out of the park!
  • "Plan of Salvation" - With all that Kody has been through recently, it was good to hear him bring the bass on this Cathedral classic.
  • "Well Done"
Jeff and Sheri Easter

In true Jeff and Sheri Easter fashion, they didn't take the stage right away that night at Echo Hollow. They gave up part of their time to let the Erwins sing a few songs that night to a packed house of almost 5,000. The Erwins certainly got the crowd going with "Chasing After You," "He's Still Alive" and "What a Lovely Name." This was such a great opportunity for these talented siblings!

  • "Small Town Someone"
  • "Someone's Listening"
  • "Sitting on Top of the World" - One of my favorite love songs they have recorded.
  • "Jesus Loves You" - This has become one of my all-time favorite Jeff and Sheri songs. 
  • Instrumental - "Beulah Land" and "I'll Fly Away" - Jared Easter is one of the most talented musicians on the road today.
  • "Praise His Name" - So glad this was a request for Sheri to sing!
  • "Thank You Lord for Your Blessings on Me" - It's such an incredible moment to hear Jeff and Sheri and a full amphitheater choir sing the chorus of this song.  
I can't wait to get back up there for the second half of the festival!
