We will have the opportunity to attend the Vanderbilt A Capella Choir Concert on Saturday 11/15/08 at 7:00 pm.

Hosting the Vanderbilt A Capella Choir

On Saturday November 15th we are hosting the Vanderbilt A Cappella Choir from Tennessee. As all of us remember when we were in college there was always two things we had little of that was money and food! The members of the choir will be staying overnight and we would like to feed them breakfast here at the church in Kennedy Hall. The Pastor and Bruce Kinsey is putting out the appeal to all the men of the congregation to prepare and serve this meal on Sunday November 16. Please either contact the church at 937-642-5651 or Bruce Kinsey at 937-644-9538 to volunteer and get more information.
