The Total Experience Gospel Choir, a community choir led by founder and directress Pastor Patrinell “Pat” Staten Wright, a Carthage, Texas native, has been singing praises and delighting audiences for 38 years.  They have performed in 38 states, on 5 continents, and 22 countries.  They have just recently returned from Japan where they not only presented the Word of God through song, they also once again delivered much needed supplies to victims of the Tsunami which were located at a Refugee Camp in Ishinomaki, Japan. The Choir has also won international Gold Medals in music competitions as well as other music and humanitarian awards internationally and domestically. After leaving Natchitoches, they will journey to New Orleans and Gulf Port, Mississippi to check on individuals they helped following the Katrina Hurricane where they have rebuilt and refurbished homes for two hurricane victims. The Choir‘s ministry is not only musical but a hands on and Jesus powered endeavor doing whatever they can to help those in need while leading those that are lost to Christ.

If you want to be engulfed by a good foot tapping, multicultural, heart thumping, soul saving, gospel music extravaganza; you need to be present at this workshop and one of a kind concert.
