On Friday evening October 7, Janet Paschal will be singing in Concert at 7:30 in the John W. Swails Center on the campus of Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, GA.
You will want to find your seat quickly as the reception time comes to a close to enjoy an evening of great Christian music by Janet Paschal. She is a Grammy and Dove award nominee. You have seen and heard her sing on the Bill Gather's Homecoming Specials and in other concerts.
Janet grew up outside of Reidsville, NC, in Caswell County. Her grandfather's conversion to Christianity changed an entire family. Several preachers, evangelists, and a gospel singer emerged from this family.
In the late 1970s Paschal was invited to become a member of southern gospel group The LeFevres. The group then changed its name to The Rex Nelon Singers (after the last LeFevre retired from the group).
In 1999, Paschal married airline pilot John Lanier. In 2005, Paschal was diagnosed with breast cancer and received months of treatment. As of July 2007, Paschal's cancer has been in remission and she often speaks of how her life is completely changed as a cancer survivor.
Janet Paschal made history with the release of her first single from the 2008 Treasure album. Her single, "Hide Me Sweet Rock of Ages," landed at the #1 position on the August 2009 Singing News Top 80 Chart. The song was written by Nancy Harmon many years back when Janet was a member of the Rex Nelon Singers. Janet is the first full-time female soloist to have a #1 song on the magazine's charts.
You will not want to miss this great concert.
