| 26 | Friday Night Concert in the Park – Heritage Park Pavillion, 1st & Main St., 7-8pm
This Friday’s concert at the Gazebo downtown will feature “Forever Family”. Jim Dillow, brother, Ernie Dillow and sister, Shirley Showalter started singing together about 6 years ago. They felt God leading them to share the gospel message of hope and love through music and testimony. Forever Family enjoyed singing at the Gazebo for the last 3-4 years. In December of 2017 Jim was suddenly taken to his heavenly home. They discontinued their ministry at that time as the loss of their Godly and inspiring brother was so heartbreaking and overwhelming. Recently God has opened doors for Ernie and Shirley to sing together again. Friday evening will be their first full concert since Jim’s passing. They, along with Jim’s wife, Susan, are dedicating this performance to the memory and legacy of their brother and husband. They look forward to sharing; knowing God always has a plan for our lives. Ernie and Shirley will continue to praise God and seek His guidance for future ministry The concerts are organized by Ralph Carlson. If you or someone you know is interested in performing, contact Ralph at rscarlson@classicnet.net
