Several gospel presentations will be rendered by the Inspirational Sounds

national recognition and they hail from the heart of the Willamette Valley, Eugene,
Oregon. This inter-denominational, community group strives to bring unity among
various racial, cultural and ethnic constituents of our community through their
performance of sacred Afro-American music; also, known as Gospel M usic. In
1987, this exceptional group was one of four choirs, nationwide, that performed at
the G reat American Gospel G ala, in the fabulous Alice Tully Hall at the world
renown Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, in New York City.
THE SERMONETTES
Northwest Gospel Jubilee
Saturday, June 16,1990
The Serm onettes of P o rtland is a group of six female vocalist who began over 20 years ago-w hile singing in the church
choir together. It was decided that they should expand their ministry in gospel music so that they could reach people outside
of their church community. The Sermonettes felt that gospel music was another avenue by which they could share, with others,
the joy and blessings that God had given them. This highly spirited resounding vocal group is under the direction of Mrs.
Dorothy Davis.
