On Sunday morning, a group of people attending the Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting in St. Louis organized and impromptu worship service in the lower lobby of the St. Louis Marriott Grand Hotel. The sound of the guitar and singing drew attention of numerous guests on the regular lobby level. One by one, guests wandered to the rail overlooking the area where the group gathered to see where the sound originated.
