Carson City Concert

The Team recently sang at a Christian revival in Carson City. We've had the blessing of singing there almost every year since the Shepardsville Team started and have enjoyed it every time.












The Team went out for ice cream and coffee one last time with Rebekah Derby.











Stay tuned for interviews from the new Team members!
