Memorial Day Weekend came to a close at Indian Creek Baptist Church with three great artists on Saturday night – Gold City, Tim Lovelace and Triumphant Quartet. Once again, we were blessed by hearing from one of the campers as the evening began. He opened the evening with the Pledge of Allegiance. After a few…
If you miss lunch on purpose so you can eat at the “food shack,” you might be in Carnesville, Georgia over Memorial Day Weekend. Indian Creek Baptist Church hosts a three day Gospel sing and one of the things they’re known for is their cooking! In front of the tent is what we affectionately call…
If you’ve been attending an event so long you can’t remember what year you started going, I guess that makes it a tradition, right? Because that’s the case when Memorial Day Weekend comes around – I know I’ll be in Carnesville, Georgia at the Indian Creek Memorial Day Weekend Gospel Singing. Not only does Indian…
The last day of the Indian Creek Baptist Church Memorial Day Gospel Singing was also the warmest day, but with Thursday and Friday’s beautiful weather, who could complain?

The golf cart zoomed from the grass lot downhill to the tent. This afternoon, the sun kept its warm rays shining down on us as a cool breeze wafted our way. There was already a line of folks waiting to enter the tent and the concession stand had quite a lengthy line as well. It…
There’s something about ice cream and Gospel Sings…they just go together, ya know. On Saturday afternoon I had those two exact things at my fingertips. A scoop of Vanilla ice cream in a Styrofoam bowl in my hand and a seat under a tent at the very place two quartets and a duo would perform…
