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.

Here it is-your take-home copy of the first nationally televised Homecoming concert! Filmed live before a sold-out audience at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, the Ryman Gospel Reunion video contains some of the greatest moments from the original TNN broadcast plus many special performances never before released. Combining the rich gospel history of the old Ryman Auditorium with the energy and excitement of a live audience, the Ryman Gospel Reunion lifts the Homecoming Family to new heights of praise and worship!

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.

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.

Gathering together to tape the Homecoming Series has been a rich worship experience. The love, strength, shared history, encouragement, joy, commitment, and celebration in that room left everyone feeling that they were on Holy Ground. As you watch this video and listen to the music of the songs, you too will witness the feeling of being on Holy Ground.
