Gaither Vocal Band Reunion: Live

Like a spark that ignites the grasslands, revival seems to come from nowhere and spreads across the wastelands of the human heart; it buns away the hulls and stubble, and come spring, new life sprouts from the charred waste! Songs of revival are the most exciting of all. They have energy. They have power to move us to tears and make us shout for the sheer joy of being truly alive. This Gaither Homecoming video will recall for the times when God's presence invaded your dry places and suddenly you knew 'resurrection' was more than just a word.

Bill & Gloria call their friends together for a toe-tapping, hand-clapping, heartwarming video - Reunion, A Gospel Homecoming Celebration. Gather in your living room or den and be a part of this celebration of renewed friendships, reminiscing, and praise. Get ready to nourish your soul with songs from recording greats like Jim Hill, Mylon LeFevre, Hovie Lister, Glen Payne, Wally Varner, Jake Hess, and other long-time friends of gospel music. Reunion is a gathering of God's family of believers, one that you can be a part of. Join in the fun and experience the wonder of this Homecoming masterpiece.

It's been the scene of concerts by the Clash, U2, the Dave Matthews Band, and many other secular musical acts, so the natural outdoor amphitheatre of Colorado's Red Rocks was perhaps overdue a visit from the prolific and decidedly non-secular Gaither Family, whose HOMECOMING series has been a fixture of both the Christian movement and the Billboard charts for many years. Their Red Rocks foray follows the form of the classic Gaither manifestation-the family hosts performances by longtime favorites such as Wesley Pritchard, whose "I Never Shall Forget the Day" is a particular highlight, and Donnie Sumner, who contributes a delicate, moving "The Anchor Holds." As a celebration of traditional religious values, the HOMECOMING series is perhaps unequalled in contemporary worship music. RED ROCKS HOMECOMING is a fine example of the Gaither Family and its satellite members doing what they do best-singing simple, unadorned, traditional songs of praise.

As Bill Gaither and The Homecoming Friends’ tribute to Memphis’ mighty Mississippi River, Ivan Parker sings “Love Is Like A River.” Other highlights include “I Shall Wear A Crown,” “Oh My Glory, Glory, Glory” and lots of comedy from Mark Lowry and his favorite target, Bill Gaither.

Filmed on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and featuring more than 250 of gospel music's finest voices, Nashville Homecoming features more than 90 minutes of classic gospel favorites. This Homecoming gathering pays tribute to the legends who paved the way for gospel music as we know it and, most importantly, celebrates the Good News that remains forever relevant in our ever-changing culture.

Years after his father disowns his adopted brother for marrying a woman of lower social standing, a young man goes on a mission to reunite his family.

After inheriting a large country estate from his late father, Peter invites his friends from college: married couple Roger and Mary, the lonely Maggie, fashionable Sarah, and writer Andrew, who brings his American TV star wife, Carol. Sarah's new boyfriend, Brian, also attends. It has been 10 years since college, and they find their lives are very different.

If the Homecoming Friends look like they're having fun on the :What A time!" video, they are! Packed into this 90-minute video we featured artists Jonathan Wilburn, gold City, Jake Hess, David Phelps, Eva Mae LeFevre, James Blackwood, Ivan Parker, Ann Downing, the Reggie Saddler Family, and the Pfiefers, just to name a few. The Crabb Family make their big debut with "Please Forgive Me" while the Lewis Family perform a tune - "this Flight That Is Leavin' Soon" - that's guaranteed tp make everyone a bluegrass lover. Another bright moment is "Scatter Sunshine" featuring the trio of Woody Wright, Jeanne Johnson and Stephen Hill. Also included us a real show-stopper, Anthony Burger's piano medley of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness," "How Big Is God" and "How Great Thou Art."

From Father Abraham to John the Revelator, from the first century church to this moment, the people of God have always seen themselves as pilgrims — never settlers. "This world is not my home, I'm just a passing through" is more than a line from an old song. This sojourner's theme has been told to children in stories, sent in letters of encouragement to friends, preached from pulpits and whispered behind the closed doors of the underground church in times of persecution. But mostly, it's been sung. When kings were unjust, they sang of a kingdom whose builder and ruler was God. When the world seemd like a foreign country and when the strange language of power and materialism was the accepted tongue, these pilgrims reminded each other that they were natives of a far better place to which they were traveling. When they were separated, estranged or lonely, they sang of a great homecoming when all the singers would one day be together around their Father's throne.

There was a time when the need for "community" pulled folks from their homes to country churches for worship and fellowship. Today, we are crowded into cities, surrounded by stimulation, and bombarded by noise. Yet, we are often no closer to each other than we were our pioneer ancestors. Now, more than ever, we need community, fellowship, and a place to turn our hearts toward the things that last forever.

Join Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends for this live video celebration recorded in the magnificent Mosaiek Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa.
