Here are photographic highlights from Monday and Tuesday, July 27 & 28, of the Gospel Announcers Guild of the Gospel Music Workshop of America – in host city Cincinnati, Ohio (photos by TBGB).

Bishop Larry Trotter and the Sweet Holy Spirit Combined Choirs of Chicago, directed by James Lott, tear it up during the opening hours of the GAG meeting with their powerful singing.

William Smith, Jr. & the Renewed Voices for Christ showed the audience how Chicago does it when it comes to gospel choir singing….energetic and churchy!
