The Hancock-Henderson Quill, Inc.
Wednesday, August 10, Summerfest will be kicked off in style with a great combination of gospel performers. Many of your favorite local church vocalists will perform a number or two including a hilarious and talented hillbilly men's group from the Christian Church and some exciting young talent from the Union Church, and "One Accord".
The One Accord Quartet began ministry in 1999, but the quartet's roots go back nearly 20 years. Larry Louderman and Larry Reagor were part of a group formed to sing at their home church, the Argyle Bible Church, near Colchester.
Over the years, members of the group have changed but two things have been constant, the "two Larrys" and a desire to proclaim Christ through music.
The desire to minister to others is what prompted the decision to take the show "on the road" in 1998. With a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary southern gospel, One Accord Quartet is equally at home entertaining at community events or leading a Sunday morning worship service.
Larry Louderman from Colchester, Larry Reagor from Macomb, Matt Mencel from Blandinsville, and Tim Fross from Colchester, have been given opportunities to proclaim Christ's love through their music all over West Central Illinois.
