On August 9th, our firm sponsored a night of worship and inspiration called “At the Cross,” featuring Kim Hill, Ashley Cleveland, and Auburn’s Chette Williams. The event was held at Saint James United Methodist Church and attracted an overflow crowd. It was one of the best.

Kim Hill is a Dove Award-winning and Grammy-nominated Christian music artist. Ashley Cleveland, also a Christian music artist, is a Grammy and Dove award winner. These soulful, talented women led a capacity-crowd in worship and praise. From Kim’s original compositions, “I Have to Believe” and “Sing Praises” to wonderful old hymns and spirituals such as, “It is Well” and “Precious Lord,” Christ was exalted and all were inspired by this excellent night of music. The evening was made even more special when Kim’s 11-year-old son, Benji, and Chette Williams’ young son, Chette Jr., performed a Christian rap song. It was a great evening of exceptional and uplifting music.

For those who do not know Chette, he is the Chaplain for Auburn University’s football team and the director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Auburn. Chette is doing great work at Auburn, not only in the lives of athletes, but also in the lives of young people in the community. During “At the Cross,” Chette gave a powerful message from God’s Word, sharing from the book of Ephesians and his own personal walk with the Lord. Chette challenged each person to run the race of faith with God’s power, obeying His Word, and not giving up or growing weary. It was a great challenge to me — and I know to many there — not to rely on my own strength but the strength of the Lord. Chette ended the message with a call for anyone who did not know Jesus personally to come to Christ for forgiveness of their sins and for salvation. Several responded and embarked on a new life in Christ. To God be the glory!

Julia Beasley, Leigh O’Dell, Alyce Robertson and Cole Portis from the firm put this program together and did an outstanding job. A number of groups helped out greatly, including the FCA, Faith Radio and the staff at St. James. We thank the Lord for this wonderful evening and look forward to more events like this in the future.
