Cleo Cantlon/MDN-- Duane Costello, the singing pastor at Kenmare’s Faith Baptist Church, and his wife, Shelly, just completed a CD of Gospel music.

KENMARE — Members of Faith Baptist Church in Kenmare flock to enjoy Duane Costello’s singing, as well as his other duties, during his three years of service at the church. Two couples of the congregation suggested he record selections of gospel music. This summer they gave more specific support to their request. They help fund a trip to Nashville, Tenn., to record a CD. The CD titled, “Duane Costello: I Call It Home,” features 10 songs in addition to the title cut. The pastor’s sponsors are not the only ones who had a wish fulfilled in the recording. Costello’s wife, Shelly, also agreed to his request to sing on the recording. “I told Shelly I wouldn’t take her along unless she sang at least two songs,” he joked. “She sang two, ‘Lord, Send Your Angels’ and ‘People Need the Lord’ and we sang ‘Ancient Words’ together. The people in our church have been surprised at how good her voice is.
