The April 14 Palm Sunday Concert held at Morning Star Baptist Church in Clairton marked the beginning of the local community’s Holy Week Fellowship and Revival themed, “Calvary Covers It All.” The annual Christian Celebration that commemorates the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus is a continued tradition envisioned by Patriarch Pastor William C. Callaway of the Mount Olive Baptist Church more than 34 years ago. According to facilitator Bishop Thelma Mitchell, pastor of the Living Waters Church, 11 different pastors among six different churches and their congregations have preached and shared in the services.
Bishop Kenneth Anderson, known for his unique Pentecostal-styled keyboard expertise, directed the inspiring singers composed of choir members from all of the participating churches. The Spirit of God reigned as those in attendance clapped and praised God from the first selection offered, “My Worship Is For Real,” to the last, “He Rose.” Master of Ceremony and veteran musician, Pastor Melvin Brown of Gethsemane Church Of God In Christ, added an extra delight to the occasion with his spontaneous solo medley of traditional lyrics. The Easter celebration Benediction was offered by host Pastor John Knight.
