State of Grace is a trio from east central Illinois. Each member has sang gospel music for most of their lives, and were brought together to form State of Grace about three years ago. Della Eccles, Gary Perry and Patty Bailey make up the group. Della sang for many years with her family, The Eastons, and had opened for several famous gospel artists while with still another group. Gary not only sings, but he also is minister to 200+ children at his local church. Patty was the wife of a Pastor for twenty two years, and as such, was choir director for most of that time. Her husband, Terry, went to meet the One he preached about in May of 2011. Each of these folks has a unique story about how they first got started in the gospel singing business. They can be reached at della_eccles2000@yahoo.com or by calling 217-259-3597. Their web address is www.stateofgrace.me . All are invited to come and enjoy some great music on Sunday evening, September 2, 2012, at 6 PM. Refreshments will be available following the concert. The church is located at the west edge of Pitsburg at 8376 Pitsburg-Laura Road.
