HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Ben Calhoun, formerly of the Christian group Citizen Way, is bringing his family to sing with him for a concert Sunday in Reno County.
"We have a real emphasis on God's Word," Calhoun said. "We sing the old hymns, because they're so full of truth. There's a lot of memory that goes along with that in generations. We just lift up the name of Jesus and have a good time doing it. Really, it's simple. We have a kids book that we sell that promotes family values, teaches kids how to read. It's also a song on my Spotify page, you know. Just showing up as a family is powerful."
The timeless message of God's love is the point of the experience and worshiping together.
"At our live shows, we sing In the Garden, we sing, How Great Thou Art," Calhoun said. "One of my favorite hymns is from the Andy Griffith Show. They sing they sing this little song called, The Little Brown Church in the Vale."
Calhoun has visited the real-life Little Brown Church in Iowa and he wants those coming Sunday to be able to reminisce about the songs and stories that are dear to their childhood. The concert is at 10:30 a.m. at New Hope Baptist Church at the corner of 4th and Obee east of Hutchinson.
