Plug in: Stay Connected

If one (Christian or not) is going to spend money to attend an event for entertainment, they should at least love themselves enough to invest well by being “picky” and particular with such event. For entertainment is meant to uplift and restore us while adding to our wellness and growth. Read more here Where Can Christians Go?

Yet of course the choice remains: Yours!

Last night I had the experience of a lifetime and was even more pleased to know it was happening in my little island.- That I didn’t have to travel to experience the atmosphere I witnessed. Totally Awesome!

Kingdom Sounds, a Christian promotion company here in Antigua has been putting on events that are  truly entertaining for Christians and non-Christians alike. However I decided to attend one of these events, Plug In, for the first time and I can truly recommend this event to anyone.
Plug In 2019 

The moment I stepped in I was greeted by a very pleasant photographer hoping to help me capture this “Kodak moment.” Then further in to a sunlit garden of daisies, as patrons and decor coordinated with yellow, white and gold (the themed colours). Yellow happens to be my favourite so I may be a bit bias here. Nevertheless the setting was indeed quite cozy and classy. There were tables for those who desired and chairs for others. Food and drinks were on sale in a variety of Caribbean favorites!

There was enough free space for socializing.-Drinks (non-alcoholic) were consumed gracefully and enjoyably rather than thrown in the air despite how powerful the worship was. Patrons had the space to sit, stand or move around freely if they needed to as they enjoyed spiritual food from the entertainers!

Entertainment:
Speaking of entertainers. Antigua is yet to see the raw talent it possesses in Christian entertainment! Romancia Kingston, ‘Roxy’ Brumant, John Mark and others all performed exceptionally well! I was especially impressed when “ROXY” stuck to the theme and remixed the song “I’m no longer a slave” to a soothing jazzy beat! Talented!

Then there was Aziz and Rawle with an eye opening poetic presentation, reminding Christians who we should truly worship (God) and to pay attention to the issues facing the church today!

Then there was violinist Wesley Morris and saxophonist Akeem Burke, joined by a steel pianist, all presenting musical arrangements that even the most ‘uptight’ person would tap their feet. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! They played songs from contemporary to traditional to island, giving patrons the urge to get up off their seats and groove!


The real Cinderella story was the band who played the entire night: Kingsplay! Most times people don’t see it but they truly possess what we call The Power of the Holy Spirit and the anointing of God! These young men played for every artist and executed effortlessly! Spirit filled Endurance!

Lastly, another admirable moment was watching Mr Bless and his wonderful wife, move through the audience so humbly and greeting patrons while they worked tirelessly to put on an excellent event!

All in all if you are looking for a night out  to add to your list or you do not go out as a Christian and would love an event that’s different from the usual concerts, try Plug In! The ambiance is soothing, the entertainment is fulfilling and the presence is simply amazing! I’ll be “staying connected” until next time: Plugged In!
