"After I graduated from college, I moved to Seymour, Tennessee.
I volunteered a considerable amount of time with Spirit and Truth
Ministries to participate in an organized singing group called the
Spirit and Truth Singers. Over the next two years, we ministered
in dozens of churches all across the East Tennessee Valley
(follow this link for
group events in 1994).
Below are some of the promotional pictures we made of the Spirit and
Truth Singers. The last photograph shows the small room in my house
where we practiced, which we called the Ministry Room."
"The Most Important Things"
"As part of my volunteer work for Spirit and Truth Ministries,
I designed a tract to hand out to people in the audience where
the Spirit and Truth Singers were scheduled to perform."
Singing at a Wedding in Cades Cove near Townsend, TN
"These pictures are from a wedding where I sang with Linda Elmore,
my friend who also participated with the Spirit and Truth Singers.
The wedding was held at one of the old historic churches in Cades Cove
in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I played the Bridal March
in addition to the special songs we sang."
Singing in the Smoky Mountain Jubilee Talent Show, Sevierville, TN
"As a surprise to me, Linda Elmore entered the Spirit and Truth
Singers in a talent contest held at the Smoky Mountain Jubilee theater
in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on November 5, 1994. We sang the gospel
song 'I Remember the Day'. I don't have any pictures from the event,
but I do still have my ticket stub (pictured last, below).
Here are some images that appeared in a theater brochure from that
time."
