A nondenominational worship service will be held 8:30 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 29, at the north end of Celebration Arena.  

Presenting the devotion will be Edgemont Baptist Pastor Jimmy West.  

West said he was approached by members of Bedford County Ministerial Association and accepted their invitation recently to preach at the Celebration because it was “an opportunity to preach.”  

“The Celebration is always a great time to get people together to worship and engage both the community and people out of town who are visiting,” said West, who’s in his fourth year of service at Edgemont.  

“I hope when people come to the Celebration and Shelbyville, they will feel welcome and that it will be a home away from home,” said Pastor West.  

He said attendees can arrive as early as 7:45 a.m. with music beginning at 8 a.m. and the service ending around 9. Worship will be led by The Cavaliers, a gospel-singing quartet based in middle Tennessee.  

Starting in 2011, The Cavaliers have been regular performers during the Dollywood Southern Gospel and Harvest Celebration in October at Pigeon Forge, performing in the Pines and Celebrity Theaters.  

That same year, The Cavaliers began sharing the stage with Ernie Haase & Signature Sound on numerous tour dates.  

As well as being regulars on many of the National Quartet Convention showcases and events, The Cavaliers have had chart success on all major southern gospel charts with songs like “Jesus Saved My Soul” and “Nothing But The Blood.”
