Greater Emmanuel's Watch Night....Mini Recap

As one of the ministers announced that we were about to hear from the fragrance of the house. Our very own, First Lady....Karen Clark Sheard, people immediately got excited. Then he made an announcement saying that there couldnt be any photos taken, no video recording or audio recording. As soon as he said that, Pastor Sheard looked at Karen and said "They can take pictures. This is church....they can take pictures. Gon head and take some pictures". ROTFL. So as she walked up and gave honor to God, the Pastor and other's, she asked did anyone believe that they were a living testimony. And as soon as she said that, the music for "Living Testimony" began. She did a magnificent job on that song. Even changed the ending of the song up a little bit saying "A Miracle....A Miracle..." and has us {The Choir} to help back her up and say whatever she directed us to say.

The next artist that was to minister was our very own Dorinda Clark Cole. Dorinda walked over to the podium and asked everyone "How many of ya'll know that the rest of your life, is going to be the best days of your life?" And then the music started for "For The Rest Of My Life". As she sung the song, it was almost as if you could feel her annointing through her voice...I found that truly amazing. I also found amazing the fact that every time she sings that song, she can never let it go.

Then there was Kierra "KiKi" Sheard. As she began to talk to the audience about how we knew that we had done some things in the past that was disappointing to our father, making the same mistakes over and over...but how many of us know that he has never left us. And as the music for "No Never" began everyone stood to their feet. During the sung, Kierra couldnt even take it no more. She said that she had to take her shoes off and give her God some praise, and as soon as she took off her shoes she started going all over the pulpit...bouncing head and all.

Next we had Dorinda Clark Cole come back to the podium to minister to us in another song. And as the choir stood to help her with the background to the song, the music began. And as soon as "So Many Times" began, everyone began to rock, clap & sing along. What made this performance amazing to me is when Dorinda had us dancing with her. Had us turning around in the choir stand...moving and grooving.



Last but of COURSE not least, the minister announced that they were saving the best for last and once again he announced Karen Clark Sheard. As she came to the podium once again, cameras begin flashing every where.....LOL. As she took the microphone, she asked for all of the young people to come down. And so many people ran down the aisles...Me...I hurried up and came from the pulpit, along with others. And as 2 dancers approached the stage to dance to the song, the music for "Higher" came on {A song on her upcoming album...song was written by J. Drew}. Everyone begin rocking, grooving & TRYING to sing the few words to the song that they knew. What made this performance awesome was her dancing along with her dancers towards the end. She even did the dance that they do in Yung Joc's video "It's Goin Down" and that was funny to me. But all in all....each performance was a moment to remember.
