The line-up for both evenings is nothing short of stellar.

All of these groups are great! Several are from Branson, many are from at least 7 surrounding states and all of them share the love and joy for Jesus in their music and in their walk. We have national and international singing and song writing award winners to present the best in Gospel music. You don't want to miss this blessing. Church groups are encouraged to bring a van or busload. Friends, invite your family and friends. Event promoters bring your calendars and media bring your cameras and microphones- and by the way, come hungry! The Malden Chamber of Commerce will be providing concessions both evenings.
There will be door prizes, a silent auction and chances to talk to your favorite groups and have photo-ops. What better way to spend a weekend than in the midst of roof-raising Gospel music. RV hookups are available at the Malden Airport and hotel rooms are available in Malden and surrounding communities, but you need to reserve these now- space will be limited.
This singing convention is free and open to the public. A love offering will be taken each evening to offset expenses of the event. It's a piece of history- don't miss it!
