GloryWay in concert on Feb. 7 at IBC

0

The GloryWay Men’s Quartet will be in concert at Immanuel Baptist Church on Sunday, Feb. 7 during the Morning Worship service at 10:30 a.m. at 500 West South Street, Arcanum. Founded in 2002, owner and lead singer, Justin Crank from Mansfield, Ohio, formed the GloryWay Quartet. With a vision in mind and a dream that would become reality, his love for four-part harmony would inevitably come full circle. Justin believed that God would open a door, and with faith he would walk right through. The group consists of lead singer, Justin Crank, tenor Bryan Langley, baritone John Cole, and fan-favorite bass, Justin Sayger. GloryWay continually boasts a lineup with seasoned ability that will impress even the least of Gospel music fans. GloryWay is quickly becoming a household name among industry leaders. They have a heart for the lost, integrity to go the extra mile, and talent without limitation to share with all who listen. Pastors Greg Greve and Dan Kuhbander invite the community to come and hear GloryWay at IBC. Social distancing will be practiced, and attendees are asked to wear masks for safety reasons.

Last week was the 43rd Anniversary of The Great Blizzard of 1978. This historic winter storm struck the Ohio Valley from Jan. 25 to 27, 1978. How many of you remember the blizzard dumped vast amounts of snow with near-hurricane-strength wind gusts heaping snow into enormous drifts up to 15 feet tall? It took the Ohio National Guard’s help to come in and clean the roads and get everything back open.
