Malden, Missouri - It is time to make your plans to attend the legendary 83d Annual MO/Mid-South Gospel Singing Convention to be held on Friday and Saturday, September 20-21, at the Malden, MO Community Center located on Business Highway 25 (Douglass Street) in front of the school and just South of Walmart. 

This event will begin at 5:00 p.m. each evening with at least 32 premiere, award-winning artists from several states and some direct from the Branson Stage, providing exciting, powerful Gospel music and amazing fellowship that you won’t want to miss. 

The line up for both evenings is nothing short of stellar.  Friday evening will feature: The Krepps Kids, Touched By the Master Qt., Jacob Keinbusch, David Isom, In His Name, Tina Sadler, Heartland Qt., Robert Penny, Kit Scott & Friends, Gloryland Qt., Richmond Qt., Final Journey Qt., Jennifer Krepps, Glad Heart Qt., JoyFul Noise (Bertrand), Eldon Wright (Kansas) and Cindy Keeley.  Saturday evening will feature:  Martin Goode, Liberty Belles, Belinda Clark, Darrell & Nemra Rhoden, Glory Road Travelers, Southern Tradition, Pastor Pudge & Sister Sludge (Courtneys), The Lawlesses, Full Circle, The Thorntons, Heart To Heart, Sixty West, Marsha Sue Mitchell, Wendell Johnson, Joyful Noise (Bloomfield), Anita French-Kidd, Mark Cave and Eldon Wright (Missouri).

All of these groups are great, several are from Branson, many are from at least 8 surrounding states and all of them share their love and joy for Jesus in their music and in their walk.  We have national and international singing and songwriting 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 roofraising 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.       

A Songwriters Seminar will be held on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. with a multi-award winning panel of coaches.  Cost for the seminar is $30 and you may also submit an original song to be critiqued.  You must register before the date of the seminar.

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!
