The audience of around thirty people were treated to a delightful evening of song and fellowship. It was the first concert held in the little white church since we reopened its doors as a house of worship.
The evening was arranged for by Dad and the rest of us. Dad shares Cartwright’s pulpit with two other gentlemen of the church.
It was in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, earlier this year that our family became friends with the performing group, The Diggles Family Ministries. We had kept in touch since that time, and after a cancellation of another singing engagement in the area, Cartwright Christian church was delighted to have them perform in their little building, which sits atop Pleasant Hill.
The Diggles Family Ministry is a Christian singing group traveling the country, sharing their musical talent. Doug, the group’s leader, and familial patriarch, sings and plays the keyboard, and is married to Diane, who controls the sound system. She also performed sign language on one of the family’s selections. Christina, their daughter, adds a diverse flavor to the singing duo by playing a wide variety of stringed and woodwind instruments. Another daughter, Katie, has been pursuing other interests, but her harmonizing tones and mandolin playing can still be enjoyed on the many CD’s the family offers for purchase.
A sincere applause rounded out the night’s concert. Smiles were seen on every face. An enjoyable time was had by all that September evening. I am glad we were able to visit our friends, plus, listen to a concert by Diggles Family Ministries.
