Former General Overseer Tim Hill was the special guest as he employed his love for Southern Gospel music to cap off the evening of worship and spiritual renewal. The week continued the next day with a spectacular display of Senior Talent competition in music, drama, art, and writing. On Wednesday night, singer/composer Mark Lowry brought a comedic and powerful package, joined by the musical talents of Endless Highway.
