Bright New Wings Tour Choir Memorabilia

Stopping by the old place on a work tour, and I found some old memories that I saved as a post three years ago, then never actually published. I know several of you have been waiting a LONG time for these. Here are some photos of memorabilia from the Bright New Wings choir tour that Minister Bob led for the Pell City First Baptist Church in 1977:

Mike also shared a couple of thoughts with us:

My time with them at Headland Heights was very special,” Mike said. “When I was in youth choir, probably when we were preparing for the famous “Purpose” tour, Bob stopped choir practice to say, “We finally found a song in Mike’s key!'”

“Another time, when he brought his youth from Quitman to a church in Vienna, Ga. where I was the Summer youth minister and by default I was leading a choir… He compared that miracle to Jesus walking on water! I love his sense of humor!”

If you have any media of Minister Bob and would like to contribute to the podcast, do not hesitate to contact us!
