On Saturday, July 29, Gos-
pel Recording Artist James
Bignon captured a standing
room only congregation at
Allen Chapel AME Church in
Athens, Texas with his pow-
erful and emotional traditional
gospel music.
Bignon who was in Athens
for a two and a half day gos-
pel music workshop concluded
With songs of glory and praise
to the Lord with the help of
his workshop choir members.
Bignon stated, "I have felt
at home here in the City of
Athens. Throughout my
travel across the United
States and other countries,
this is first time that I have
seen City officials who were
here in person and stay until
the end of program."
Mayor Randy Daniel
(Athens) and Mayor Pat
Isaccson.(Malakoff) were on
hand to present James Bignon
with a Proclamation and a key
to the City.
Bignon stressed that being
a good choir member means
to be dedicated, dependable,
eager to learn, a leader in
worship, a team member, keep
God 'first, and be armed for
battle.
"You should be a blessing
and not a nightmare to your
choir. Remtmber it's not
about you, but it's about
GOD," said Bignon.
