Cece Winans thrilled them at Macoya

MULTIPLE Grammy Award Winner, Cece Winans, thrilled thousands of local gospel fans last Saturday evening at “Cece Winans Live: Praise and Worship Unlimited” concert held at the Marvin Lee Stadium, Centre of Excellence, Macoya. The concert was hosted by the Pierre Sisters in commemoration of their 25th year in Gospel Music Ministry.  Gospel lovers came out in their numbers to hear Winans render some of her more popular selections like “Holy Spirit come fill this place” and “Alabasta Box.”  During Winans’ performance, security was noticeably tightened.  Winans encouraged youths and adults alike to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She stressed on the power of prayer and was adamant that “Prayer can change all things.”    

Local ministers also delighted the crowd with their choice of songs.  The pace of the concert varied from time to time as ministers moved back and forth from groovy praise to solemn worship. Patrons were awestruck when local minister Reverend Angela Williams introduced the 2001 Gospel Song Festival Winner, Stephen John to join her on stage. John’s offering of “In Your Presence” brought actual tears to some, so distinct was his voice and flawless his rendition. The concert ended at about 11pm and many voiced their absolute satisfaction with this.
