Several Methodist churches raised funds for Habitat for Humanity last week.
From the Rev. Chuck Van Houten at Centerport UMC:
This past Sunday was our Building on Faith United Methodist Choir Concert to raise funds for the Habitat for Humanity project. And what a concert it was. We had the joy of hearing eleven choirs from around the Long Island East District of The United Methodist Church perform. The diversity and fellowship of seeing and hearing these different choirs was quite an amazing experience. Let me say as one of the participants, I was truly amazed and humbled. And the experience of hearing all the choirs sing a final piece together arranged and conducted by our own David Bishop was awesome. It was truly a great day. You should also know that our choir shined in their performance and that our Cherub Choir, singing, "You Don't Need A Phone To Call Jesus" was the hit of the afternoon. Congratulations to our Choir and our Cherubs. You Rock!
The good news is that not only was it an amazing experience for all involved, but we also raised over $4,000.00 for the Habitat project. We should all feel great about that! Hats off to Ethel Abbott, Joanne Utley, Linda Avallone, Margaret Burr, the entire Habitat team, members of our Youth Group and the District Youth Council, as well as our Choir and their fearless leader, David Bishop for making the day such a great success.
