This year's Senior Adult Choir Tour was to Nashville, TN. Of course, the floods in the area almost put this trip on hold. Still, in the weeks before the trip everything had opened back up except for the riverboat tour and the mall area, which we replaced with some much needed free time and a trip to the famous "Loveless Cafe." The Sunday before tour we performed in services at both Alexis Baptist Church and Southside Baptist Church. We also performed in two nursing homes on tour: The NC Baptist Retirement Home in Asheville and Belcourt Terrace in Nashville. We were able to do much sightseeing as well. We saw many notable landmarks such as the Parthenon, Bicentennial Park, The Country Music Hall of Fame, Music Row, & the Ryman as a part of the "Disover Nashville" Grayline tour. We also saw a Grand Ole Opry show, which had been relocated to Jackson Hall at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and featured stars such as Little Jimmy Dickens, Billy Dean, Jim Lauderdale, Jean Shepherd, and bluegrass group Cherryholmes. It was a very multigeneraltional type of concert, and we all loved it. We also got to tour the LifeWay campus in downtown Nashville. Everything ran like clockwork during the week, and we thank the Lord for safety in travel, fruitfulness in ministry, and for one of the best tours in recent memory.
