NORMA JEAN'S COWBOY CHURCH.

Norma Jean is there.  But cowboy it ain't.  It might be better named Norma Jean's Old Time Country Music Church.  But hey, that's OK.  Norma Jean's meets Sunday's at 10:30 a.m.  It is located next to Applebee's at The God and Country Theater. The address is 1840 W. Highway 76 in Branson, Mo.  The phone number is 417-334-6806.  The pastor is Ron Boldman who had 26 years of military service.

The first hour is performance.  Here you can hear some music from Norma Jean, her band and some special guests.  I particularly enjoyed some of their singing including  "Gentleman" Jim Brown who was a very mellow fellow.  Also there was a fun piece from "O Brother, Where Art Thou" that was performed by Tim Hadler who does The Hank Williams Tribute Show.  I almost got my jug and joined in.  Great Fun.  After an hour performance and the collection of the offering by passing straw cowboy hats, it was time for the preachin' to begin.

A 30 minute service was given by Pastor Ron Boldman.   After the preachin', there was a short invitation and the people were released to the street about 12:10.

All in all, things were done in a good spirit and the ushers were at least as friendly as in other churches.  You can tell who is an usher, generally they wear cowboy hats. Some pictures of the show are posted below.

 Well ya'll I do believe that is Norma Jean.
