TWOQC show their enthusiasm as the entire audience sings along with the Gatekeepers.

TWOQC enjoyed a fabulous evening of entertainment at their November monthly meeting. The Gatekeepers of The Ironwood Hills Church’s performance of patriotic and holiday music was inspirational and very moving. The nine men and women, led by Hannah Winchester, are all related and blessed with exceptional musical talent. Many members of the Gatekeepers not only sing, but they are accomplished musicians as well. Lily Winchester rocked the house with her performance on the electric guitar. At times during the evening, various individuals in the group were featured, delighting the audience with their solo performances backed by the chorus. Arrangements showcased their mastery of a variety of music styles ranging from Contemporary and Gospel to Rhythm and Blues. Their beautiful a cappella rendition of God Bless America brought the audience to their feet to sing along with the chorus and TWOQC veterans Laurie Brown, Laura Coburn and Peggy McGee. So many ladies in attendance commented on how much they enjoyed the program and how uplifting it was.
More than 126 TWOQC members and guests attended the program. To view photos and videos of the meeting and other TWOQC functions, please visit the club’s website at www.womenqc.com.
