The importance of religious celebration is clear in our contemplations about our lives and the lifestyles we choose to live. It is apparent in our expressions of hope and in the prayers that the faithful send up. But the joyful noise that continues to spread throughout the urban community via Verizon Wireless’ annual How Sweet the Sound gospel competition brings with it sweet rewards. Gospel choirs get the opportunity to showcase the divine in them and move multitudes through inspired performances supported by the dedicated sponsors at Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless has heard the call of the masses and answered in the fashion it’s become so widely known for, that is with dedication and sensitivity to the needs for meaningful expression. For those followers of gospel music who are also familiar with the much lauded How Sweet the Sound gospel concerts and competition, it’s time to get your best choir robes on and fine tune your vocal instruments to rally the saints and get a chance at taking back to your respective spiritual communities, prizes and bragging rights for the best gospel choir in their cities, states and ultimately the country.
And for those laymen who are neither choir members or contest participants, the Verizon Wireless How Sweet the Sound program raises the spiritual calibrator several decibels to lead listeners to a greater understanding and appreciation for the genre. There are an abundance of reasons to celebrate and shout in this upcoming new season and get your praise on with gospel legends Donald Lawrence and CeCe Winans among others, but we’ve listed our top 5 reasons for attending here.
1. The celebration and commitment of bringing your family to an enjoyable gospel event where you can sing and experience some of your favorite hymns and contemporary gospel songs together.
2. Select from an awe-inspiring away of choirs and musical styles your choice or choirs or churches to shower with appreciation and support. Celebrate their sound and their ability to move you and make them a part of your regular dedication ritual.
3. If you’re looking to find a way to entertain a date who hasn’t quite found a church home and is shopping around for a place to worship, introduce them to gospel music so that they might find spiritual healing and with it their spiritual home.
4. There is no more affordable concert around, and the commitment that Verizon Wireless has made to bringing you national gospel acts at reasonable costs, can’t be topped.
5. Your church or choir will shine simply by performing on the national stage and competing with high caliber performers from around the nation.
How Sweet the Sound is the place to be for an evening of wholesome but moving entertainment. Verizon Wireless must be recognized for their sustained and stellar commitment to take patrons to a new height and stretch their hands and hearts toward the heavens.
