Grammy Award Winner, Lady Tramaine Hawkins, to Minister in Song During Both Father’s Day Services at Faith Chapel Christian Center
Birmingham, AL, June 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Gospel icon and Grammy Award winner, Lady Tramaine Hawkins, will minister in song during two special services at Faith Chapel Christian Center on Father’s Day Sunday, June 20. The two services are scheduled for new times, 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. at The Word Dome located at 100 Lexington Street in the Wylam community of Birmingham. The public is invited to join us for this event.
When the words "icon" and "gospel" come together in a sentence, there are only a few people who fit the bill. Lady Tramaine Hawkins is certainly one of those people. Forever part of the history of gospel music, her vocal performance on songs like Changed, Goin’ Up Yonder, and He's That Kind Of Friend not only are classics, but have brought many Christians through a dark day. Her unmatched soprano chops; amazing fashion sense and commanding stage presence have secured her position as gospel royalty.
Dr. Henry Panion III, Faith Chapel’s Sr. Director of Fine Arts and UAB Professor, says, “You can expect another great service with this Gospel icon, as she ministers in song along with a Women’s Chorus of over 100 women. The band, the choir, and Lady Tramaine Hawkins will certainly make both services truly outstanding.”
Faith Chapel Christian Center was recently named the “new hot spot for Gospel artists” by Birmingham’s The Sword online Magazine. Due to the overwhelming response to recent events featuring artists such as The Rance Allen Group, and Shirley Murdock, to name a few, the church has decided to incorporate a second service on Father’s Day to accommodate the expected overflow crowd. Child care will be available for children 6 weeks to 6th grade during both services.
