PENN TWP — Like the sign above the stage, musicians made a joyful noise at the Country-Gospel Music Jam at the South Butler Assembly of God church Wednesday evening.

Attendees clapped and shook tambourines to jaunty, country-style renditions of familiar hymns and contemporary favorites.

Organizer Dave Sinz said the event was held before the COVID-19 pandemic with much success, and the church decided to hold it again. The hope is to have a similar gathering on a regular basis.

“There’s lots of musicians around Butler, and most are Christians, so we wanted to get together and play music leaning toward the gospel side of it,” Sinz said.
