More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend. |

First Annual Berkshire Gospel Festival - January 03, 2008
The mission of this year’s first BGF is to bring together the various segments of the area’s Christian and musical talents to one place and spread the “good news”! There will be area church choirs and individuals who witness God’s grace and bridge the gap through music.
Gospel music is one of the fastest growing genres in the U.S. according to Billboard Magazine. Whatever your experience with the genre, the BGF is worth going to to broaden your horizons, open your mind, and understand what "soul" really means Berkshire style.
Participating in this first Berkshire Gospel Festival are: St. Agnes Folk Choir, Refuge, His Songs, Robin Oherin, The Messengers, Vikki True, The Second Congregational Church Gospel Choir, The Becket Praise Team, Price Memorial AME Zion Church Gospel Choir and the Morning Gospel Chorale.
It is hoped that in coming together as a community at large and a community of faith that we can bridge the gaps, share, have fun and make music. It is also hoped that we may be able to raise some funds to be forwarded to an agency which serves a young adult population in the Pittsfield area, Westside Neighborhood Resource Center. The United Methodist Church of Lenox, Lenox, MA is proud to sponsor this event. |
