Continuing with its 2014 concert series, Emmanuel Reformed Church, 202 E. Morris Street, Morrison, IL, is thrilled to welcome Southern Gospel music’s favorite mixed group, The Perrys, when they return in concert on Friday, May 16, at 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of the church. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. No tickets are needed; a free-will love offering will be received. All are welcome to attend. Invite your friends and neighbors.
In a day and time when “traditional” may not be viewed as the “in thing,” the Perrys are a breath of fresh air. In fact, their desire to always keep close to the traditions upon which Southern Gospel Music is based is exactly why the Perrys are considered one of the all-time great groups of this uplifting music form. They have been singing Southern Gospel Music for 35 years–a remarkable feat in any musical genre.
From their beginnings gathered around a family piano in December 1970, the Perrys have watched in amazement as God grew their ministry to one of National stature. All along the way, solid traditional Southern Gospel Music has formed the foundation of every song the group has chosen to sing, and the audiences love it. With their Daywind Records release, “Almost Morning,” the Perrys have produced yet another stellar recording, receiving a 2010 Dove Award nomination.
The results have been astonishing! The number one goal of the Perrys is to present the message of Jesus Christ in a manner that all ages can understand. To do this, they choose traditional Southern Gospel Music as their vehicle. Along this musical path, they’ve seen countless souls saved, untold numbers of lives changed, and innumerable commitments made to the Lord. These results are a tradition the Perrys love to see continued at every bus stop.
Especially moving will be the testimony of the Perrys, as they relate the story of bass singer Tracy’s massive stroke in January 2013. His miraculous healing and continued work at physical therapy and restoration are a story you don’t want to miss hearing.
