Gospel group SOS to perform at Ransdell Chapel

Event is part of CU's Black History Month events

By Rachel Crenshaw, CU staff writer

The gospel group "SOS" from Simmons College of Kentucky will be performing for Campbellsville University at 7pmET/6PmCT Tuesday, February 19, 2008, in the Ransdell Chapel.

The group was invited to Campbellsville University by the Office of Church and External Relations in order to participate in the sequential events celebrating Black History Month.

The public is invited to the event which is free of charge.



Other Black History Month Celebration Events at CU include:
  • February 6, 2008, Dr. William H. Turner, National Endowment for the Humanities Chair in Appalachian Studies at Berea College, at 10amET/9amCT, in the Ransdell Chapel
  • February 13, 2008, Dr. Joseph Owens, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Lexington, who is also a CU alumnus and member of the CU Board of Trustees, at 10amET/9:00amCT in the Ransdell Chapel.
These free events are also open to the public.

"SOS" consists of six members, Carol Kirby-Green, Karen Kirby, Sharron Sales, Troy Bell, Terra Leavell and Angela Tellis. Their music mainly features a variety of traditional African-American gospel music.

Kirby-Green, Kirby and Sales had been singing together since high school. However, they weren't officially given a title until their choir director at St. Stephens Church decided to give them the nickname "SOS" meaning "Same 'Ol Soloist."

Later in 2006 "SOS" realized they needed a few more potential singers in order to ensure the success of the group.

Therefore, Bell, Leavell and Tellis were added to the group. They became a vocal ensemble for Simmons College of Kentucky.

Since then, the group has been performing for various audiences sharing the love and hope of Jesus Christ to all. They feel truly blessed to be able to give God glory and honor and praise through their music.

Campbellsville University and Simmons College of Kentucky have a partnership to facilitate the learning experiences of both institutions including faculty and student exchanges, worship experiences and technology pursuits. Dr. Kevin Cosby is the president of Simmons College of Kentucky which is located in Louisville.
