LA GRANGE - The opry will host a gospel show with D'Vine Testament and The Fleckables on Monday, Nov. 18, starting at 7 p.m. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and admission is $8 per person. The gospel show can be seen and heard at the La Grange KC Hall at 190 S. Brown St. in La Grange. D'Vine Testament is a Christian music group performing together for 13 and a half years. The members have been involved in music for decades, singing and playing in many different bands. Music ranging from polkas and waltzes, and country and rock.
Although none of the members had ever played together, the group came to be by "divine intervention," and many wonderful people in the communities demanded that they sing a lot more than an occasional Sunday in church. So, the "D'vine Testament" was formed, and since then, they have recorded four CDs. In addition, the group, as well as individually, has performed for many weddings, funerals, country oprys, festivals, memorial services, and numerous concerts for churches of all denominations. In general, they stated "we just like to sing." For the past four-plus years, the group, known as "Wren's And Friends," has played classic country music for fundraisers, festivals, private parties, and dancehalls. Members of the group are Byron Wren from Smithville, Dennis Stryk, David Machac, and Bruce Lebeda from Schulenburg, and Joe Dybala from Fayetteville. The Fleckables were formed in 2018 as the music team on a retreat. The name is a play on the word flexible because everyone joked about how flexible they were adapting to any changes that needed to be made the name stuck, never thinking it would go beyond the retreat. They are a group of ladies who love to sing together, have fun, and laugh at and with each other. Their group includes Mary Lou Anderle, Kathy Goertz, Phyllis Kleinschmidt, Lynne Machac, Bailey Mathison and Karen Wren. Also a part of the group are Lindsey Saunders and Karley Snyder, who could not come.
