4:00 PM - With Faith (Pavilion)
Ginger Pauling and Sharon DeWalt both attend Elimsport Baptist Church, where they sang together for the first time, bringing tears as they realized the Lord had laid a mission on their hearts. They have been singing together ever since.
Ginger is originally from Tully, NY, near Syracuse, where she grew up in music, singing with her family at fairs and other events. She has lived in Pennsylvania for 13 years, currently in Elimsport.
Sharon, also from Elimsport, has a wealth of experience singing since her college days. Her singing was almost jeopardized by surgery, but with God's grace, her voice was restored and resulted with greater vocal range than prior to the surgery.
With Faith desires to give HOPE to all who need to hear -- through their upbeat, contemporary and country style music.
