The congregations of the First Baptist Church of Eatonton and Eatonton First Methodist Church came together on March 29 for a special, combined musical observance and celebration of Palm Sunday.
The event was hosted at the First Baptist Church on North Madison Avenue in downtown Eatonton by its pastor, Reverend Dr. Craig Williamson, and First Methodist pastor Rev. David Wofford joined. They were accompanied by Rev. Dylan Bowden and Rev. Dr. Randy Brittain, as each church’s pastor of music, respectively. Roger Vining served as the event’s narrator.
Musicians included cellist Spencer Brooke, clarinetist Rebecca Cooke, pianist Connie Covington, flutist Laurie Peebles, and French horn player Andrew Sehmann, with Bowden and Brittain sharing conducting duties.
The band was accompanied by a 35-member choir and 16 handbell musicians, who also greatly contributed to the event, too.
