How Sweet the Sound™ 2008 was an unbelievable success with choirs from across the country participating in this extraordinary celebration of church music. Eleven choirs from around the country came together for a remarkable finale in Atlanta, winning cash and prizes for their respective churches totaling over $50,000. Acme Missionary Baptist Church from Chicago, Illinois was the grand finale winner of $25,000, which their Pastor Bernard Sutton said would help build the congregation a new sanctuary. Congratulations to all the 2008 winners!
