NQC 2014 Highlights: Day 5
Karen Peck and New River sang “We Shall Wear a Robe and Crown” this evening. I was hoping they would sing that. Revelation 2:10 says, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.”
The Gospel Harmony Boys sang “Listen to His Heartbeat.” It took a minute to weed through the recesses of my mind to remember how I knew that song. Then I remembered that it was an old Singing Americans song. I am so glad someone brought it back. A very good song.
Lauren Talley and Gerald Wolfe were the host and hostess for tonight’s concert sets. Lauren said someone asked her to take a selfie of her and Gerald and the audience, so she took a couple to post on Twitter.
The Booth Brothers included “Trading This Cross for a Crown” in their set and then called Paul Lancaster and the Collingsworth Family on stage to join them in singing a song the LeFevre Quartet made popular: “Jesus Saves.”
Squire Parsons sang a song and then called his son, Samuel, on stage to sing “Hello, Mama.” Samuel and his wife, Leah, sang a couple more songs with Squire.
Lauren Talley joined Brian Free and Assurance to sing, “Where There’s a Will.” That is one thing that I like about the NQC. If you record a song with a guest artist, there is at least one place where fans can see you perform together.
The Collingsworth Family had their children’s spouses join them to sing “As for Me and My House, We Will Serve the Lord,” a song Phil said he and Kim sang or had sung at their wedding 28 years ago. Kim then played “My Tribute.”
David Jeremiah gave a preview of his latest book, which is what he will be speaking on at chapel tomorrow. He then threw a bunch out to the audience.
Lily Isaacs was not at the convention, as she is in California with her mom who fell and broke her hip. I am sure Lily would appreciate your prayers for her and her mom.
Driven got to sing one song on the main stage this year which I am very happy about. They chose “You Can Run On” and did a fabulous job. I hope they get to sing a little more next year.
I always look forward to seeing which song The Hoppers are going to choose as the last song of their set. They have so many great ones but tonight they chose “Shouting Time.”
Jonathan Price, a former tenor of the Dixie Melody Boys, has been filling in for them following the departure of Matt Felts. Their new tenor will be Doug Pittman. For his debut with them, he sang “Little is Much” then joined them in singing, “When I Cross to the Other Side of Jordan.”

This year was our first year at NQC and we were so blessed. We plan to be back next year and for more days. three days just was not long enough for us. It was just great and people were so helpful to us, as I am in a wheel chair and a lady on Friday asked if she couldn’t help puch, . Men holding doors, it was all so wonderful.
Hi Neil, I am so glad NQC was a pleasant experience for you. I too have been very blessed by the friendly atmosphere at the Convention. I hope you do get the opportunity to go back. Maybe one year I’ll get to meet you there. Have a blessed day!
