The Plymouth Choir from First-Plymouth Church in Lincoln, Nebraska, will present a free hymn festival at Wilshire Baptist Church in Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. Wilshire's Sanctuary Choir will join in the program, which will be livestreamed at youtube.com/wilshirebaptist.
In “Sing Glory to the Name of God: A Festival of Hymns,” the choir will bring a message of hope in a program celebrating the many names we offer God. All who attend will be invited to raise their voices in beloved hymns, and the choir will sing spiritually powerful, expressive music by Margaret Bonds, André Thomas, and conductor Tom Trenney. The Plymouth Choir has been heard more than 18 million times across the world on YouTube, and they are grateful for this opportunity to share their ministry in Tulsa, Wichita and Dallas for the first time.
Wilshire’s minister of music, Ariel Merivil, previously served on staff at First-Plymouth, and the Wilshire Sanctuary Choir will join the Plymouth Choir for the program.
