Gospel Group to perform
The St. Thomas men's group will host a fundraiser for St. Vincent dePaul, a local social services group, at a concert given by "Sounds of Grace". This Christian choir from Evansville will perform a mix of contemporary and traditional gospel music as well as spiritual songs.
The concert will take place in the St. Thomas sanctuary at 3:00 p.m. A freewill offering will be collected at the end of the concert and all proceeds will be given to the St. Vincent dePaul Conference for their home visitor's fund. This fund helps those in need in our community with payments for such things as rent, utilities, and other basic needs.
Members of the men's group help with the home visitor ministry as well as the St. Vincent dePaul furniture ministry, which gives household furnishings to those in need in and around Bloomington. We invite everyone to attend the exciting music performed by "Sounds of Grace".
