Refreshing Springs C.O.G.I.C. Choir with Myrna Summers

[Mjpawmi]

@kebbo202 I was a member of RS in late 80's. My family and I joined when Myrna Summers left for Memphis. I remember your father as well or at least members of the family. I sang in Youth Choir under Kathy and Steve.

This recording makes my hair stand up, if that were possible. It reminds me of Sunday services in my childhood when the Holy Ghost would just sweep into the church and everybody would be in the altars and weeping before God. The old fashioned tarrying services.

You know Refreshing Springs has always been a church that COGIC churches on the east coast wanted to be like. I see why

I've been watching these clips for the last three days since I found them. Reminds me of my childhood when the choir would literally sing the glory of God down. There's nothing like anointed Gospel singing. What a choir. WOW!

OMG is right! Believe it or not, the man at 1:07 is my father, Pastor Timothy Bouknight! The girl leading the song is Yvonne Bailey Washington and she is still singing people under pews.

We never know what the Lord has in store for us. I wonder if he knew at this age there was a calling on his life. I'm glad to be able to share this footage with everyone. Though I'm a Baptist (don't throw your shoe at me)lol I've always loved and respected the C.O.G.I.C. and their rich heritage.

Peace and Blessings,

I had no idea there this video even existed. This is beautiful. This year is Refreshing Spring's 70th anniversary; it's so good to see that some of the history was filmed.
