Mineral Point Gospel Music Fest

Double Portion

Canada’s Double Portion from North Battleford, Saskatchewan is a unique group in many ways. This 6 piece Gospel band is made up of parents Duncan & Debbie Hemmerling and 6 of their 10 children. They love to share songs they’ve written and songs they wish they wrote while featuring many stringed instruments with soaring family harmony. 2026 marks the 44th year of ministry for this veteran group and they are still excited to visit incredible places and meet so many wonderful people.
Originating with Duncan and his three sisters, Canada’s Double Portion has crisscrossed the continent from Newfoundland to British Columbia, Georgia to Alaska. Four decades of travel have provided unique
experiences like singing on the Grand Ole’ Opry stage, backing up Johnny & June Cash at a Cash/Rivers family reunion and performing with many of Gospel music’s premier groups at North America’s largest events.
However, experience has taught this family that the smaller things in life are often the most rewarding!
Canada’s Double Portion have been nominated for Group of the Year numerous times and have received multiple awards for Album, Song of the Year and Live Band of the Year in the Gospel Music Association Canada.
They are thankful for every opportunity they have to share the Gospel!

The Kitchen Table

Luke 10:27 – 2 Thess. 3:5 – Rev. 2:4-5, 3:20

This is the story of an older couple remembering the spiritual happenings around the kitchen table. Two big happenings are – the old couple’s renewal to their 1st love for the Lord which causes them to open their table to others. The second happening is – their son, who has been raised as a Christian, but has gone prodigal, and his coming to truly love the Lord with the words of Luke 10:27. “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ. 2 Thess. 3:5

But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you nad remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Rev. 2:4-5

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. Rev. 3:20
