Sunday morning service held at Railroad Festival

This past weekend, the town of Appomattox celebrated its 50th Anniversary Historic Appomattox Railroad Festival with plenty of activities and music for all residents, including a Sunday morning service new to this year’s program.

New Beginnings Gospel Singers of Appomattox performed the service at Courtland Festival Park as a part of the weekend’s festivities.

The gospel musicians have been together for 18 years and have performed for the Railroad Festival many times over the years. As the group entertained a small audience with their song, “I’ll Be Alright,” local residents sang along and clapped their hands.
