May 15 – Beyond the Ashes Concert
7:00 PM
First Presbyterian Church on Main Street
First Presbyterian Church, 6470 Main Street, proudly announces the arrival of the gospel vocal trio Beyond The Ashes to perform in our sanctuary on Friday, May 15th, at 7 PM. The Nashville-based group was honored as “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” at the 2011 Absolutely Gospel Music Awards and has also received two Dove award nominations. Each young man in the group brings an exuberant love, respect, and admiration for Christian music. Their lives are dedicated to reaching out with a fresh new zeal and passion for those who desire a closer relationship with the Lord. Their musical style and diversity is rooted in Southern Gospel music with tight harmonies and a rich blend. Their talent opens the door for them to convey several styles and genres of music with one common denominator: it is music that speaks to the heart of the listener. It is music for the church. The concert is free to the public. A free-will offering will be received during the concert. Please plan to attend this exciting event and bring your families, friends and neighbors. For more information, contact the church office at 693-2071.
